Poe Valley State Park, State recreational park in Penn Township, United States.
Poe Valley State Park is a 620-acre recreation area centered on a 25-acre lake surrounded by forests. The site includes picnic areas, fishing spots, and hiking trails that connect through the wooded landscape.
The Civilian Conservation Corps built the lake and park buildings during the Great Depression, opening the park for public use in 1938. This project created jobs while building recreational infrastructure for the region.
Evening programs at the amphitheater and guided nature walks happen throughout summer, helping visitors connect with the landscape. These activities let people learn about the forests and wildlife around the lake as you explore the grounds.
The park offers 45 campsites with toilets and electric hookups, plus small camping cottages near the main facilities. Come early on weekends if you want a good spot, as popular areas fill up quickly during warm months.
The Reeds Gap Spur Trail connects this park to a neighboring state park while linking to a long-distance hiking route. This network lets visitors combine walks across multiple parks and deeper into forest country.
