Yellow Creek State Park, State park in Indiana County, Pennsylvania
Yellow Creek State Park spans 2,981 acres of natural terrain, featuring a 720-acre lake surrounded by forests and walking trails across different elevations.
The park grounds contain sections of the Kittanning Path, which Delaware and Shawnee nations used for travel before European settlement in Pennsylvania.
The environmental education center offers programs about local wildlife, natural resources, and ecological systems through guided walks and hands-on activities.
Three boat launch areas accommodate vessels up to 20 horsepower, while the beach section includes rental facilities for canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats.
The park became Pennsylvania's first state recreation area to implement propane-powered lawn mowers in 2008, leading a statewide environmental initiative.
