A day at one of the 121 state parks in Pennsylvania always promises adventure. However, if you’re on the prowl for a multi-day adventure, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Pennsylvania’s largest state park. It offers a full list of amenities, so you’ll definitely need a few days to see and do it all.
Pymatuning State Park in Jamestown is perhaps best known for the Linesville Spillway, where visitors flock to see the ducks that walk on the carps’ backs.
It’s one of those activities you really must do if you visit Pymatuning State Park. Just make sure you follow the rules listed and only feed the food sold at the spillway.
The 16,892-acre state park is also perfect for watching its resident bald eagles. Make your way to Wilson Launch for your best chance to spot these majestic birds.
Definitely carve out plenty of time to explore the massive Pennsylvania state park. It features seven miles of hiking trails, which range from easy and difficult.
Soak up the summer sun on one of the three beaches, perfect for staying cool on Pennsylvania’s hottest days.
For a unique view of the park, rent a pontoon boat at one of the three marinas. Kayaking and canoeing are also popular.
Pymatuning State Park also boasts a disc golf course. You’ll find it in the Jamestown Day Use Area. Play 18 holes then come back for another round.
During the snowy days of winter, the park transforms into a playground. Visit for such winter sports as snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and sled riding.
You’ll quickly realize that a day at the park just isn’t enough to experience all it has to offer. For a comfy getaway, book a stay in one of the modern cabins.
