Mt. Pisgah State Park

Mt. Pisgah State Park is a state park in Pennsylvania covering approximately 1,302 acres with forests, open fields, and Stephen Foster Lake at its center. The property spans across multiple townships and offers diverse natural settings for exploration and recreation.

The land that forms the park today was previously used for agriculture before the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania acquired it in 1969. The site later developed into a public recreation area, opening its facilities to visitors in 1979.

The park serves as a gathering place where people come to experience outdoor recreation and connect with the natural landscape of the region. Visitors use the trails and lakeside areas as everyday spaces for walking, observing wildlife, and spending time away from busy areas.

The lake allows both electric and non-powered boats, making it accessible to different visitors interested in water activities and fishing. Parts of the park are designated hunting areas during certain seasons, so plan visits accordingly if you prefer to avoid those times.

The park contains over 1,100 acres designated for hunting where visitors can pursue ruffed grouse, squirrels, deer, and other game under state regulations. This large hunting area sets it apart as a destination for people interested in this type of outdoor activity.
