Kings Gap Environmental Education and Training Center

Kings Gap Environmental Education Center spans 2,531 acres on South Mountain, featuring an Italian villa-style mansion and 25 miles of interconnected trails.

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources established Kings Gap as a state park in 1973 to provide environmental education programs.

The Cameron-Masland Mansion serves as a venue for educational programs, meetings, and special events while offering panoramic views of Cumberland Valley.

The park maintains trails of varying difficulties, from easy walks to challenging hikes, with clear markings and designated areas for hunting during specific seasons.

The center includes a permanent orienteering course where visitors learn navigation skills using maps and compasses across the mountainous terrain.
