Blue Knob State Park, State park in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, US
The park spans 6,128 acres of mountainous terrain with an elevation of 3,146 feet, making it the second highest peak in Pennsylvania.
German settlers established the initial community after the American Revolution, constructing distilleries, lumber mills, and gristmills in the surrounding area.
The mountain trails follow former railroad tracks that used multiple switchbacks to transport timber during Pennsylvania's extensive logging period.
The park features 45 camping sites with electrical connections, modern restrooms, three picnic areas containing over 200 tables, and numerous hiking paths.
The location receives approximately twelve feet of snow annually, supporting Blue Knob All Seasons Resort with 36 trails for winter sports activities.
