Stone Valley Recreation Area

Stone Valley Recreation Area spans 700 acres of forest land with Lake Perez at its center, offering 20 miles of trails and outdoor facilities.

Pennsylvania State University obtained federal government contracts in 1940 to develop the land, receiving full ownership in 1954 for educational programs.

The recreation area connects Penn State Forestry department with Shaver's Creek Environmental Center, fostering educational and recreational activities for students and locals.

Visitors can rent boats, use picnic areas with charcoal grills, and participate in fishing activities while following Pennsylvania fishing regulations.

Lake Perez underwent complete drainage in 2008 due to dam regulation changes and was refilled in 2014, returning to the state's fish restocking program.
