Denton Hill State Park

Denton Hill State Park is a winter sports area in Potter County that features multiple ski slopes and mountain biking trails across forested terrain. The park offers both day-use activities and overnight stays in rustic lodges equipped with kitchens and bedrooms.

The park was established in 1951, and ski operations started in 1959 with additional facilities built over the following decade. This gradual development transformed it into a regional winter sports destination.

The park forms part of the Hills Creek State Park complex, connecting eight state parks that preserve Pennsylvania's natural environment.

The park is best visited from December through March when snow covers the slopes and ski lifts operate. Good footwear is important since trails cross forested and uneven ground in most seasons.

The park sits next to the Susquehannock Trail System, a hiking route that connects multiple recreation areas across the wider region. Visitors can combine winter sports with hiking opportunities during milder seasons.
