(WHTM) — Pennsylvania is full of nature and history. There are dozens of state parks throughout the Keystone State. State parks are full of natural beauty and are great for a day trip, to go for a hike, or to just get away for the day.
In the Northern Tier, Colton Point State Park is known as “The Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.” The scenery at this park is breathtaking every season of the year, especially from late September through mid-October.
Cherry Springs State Park has reduced its services for the winter season. Visitors should be aware that the Campground has closed for the season and will reopen to the public on April 14th, 2023.
