Stretched across nearly 6,250 acres in Cambria County, Prince Gallitzin State Park beckons outdoor lovers with its full menu of amenities - from hiking to horseback riding.

But it's the beautiful Glendale Lake that is, arguably, the gem of Prince Gallitzin State Park. Summertime means cooling off in the clean lake before drying off on the sandy shore of Muskrat Beach.

The massive lake measures 1,635 acres and boasts 26 miles of shoreline. If you're looking for a bit of quiet, you're sure to find it at this Pennsylvania lake.

Don't forget a volleyball when you're packing your beach gear. A sand volleyball court overlooks Glendale Lake.

Slip your kayak, canoe, or boat into the water from one of more than a half dozen boat launches, and spend the day exploring the water. Iceboating is popular in the winter, although you'll need a launching permit.

You can rent a variety of watercraft at the seasonal marina and boat rental.

Picnic tables, some of which offer lake views, dot the park, making it easy to have a meal and fuel up for more adventures.

Even if you prefer to stay on land, you'll have plenty of chances to explore. The park features more than 32 miles of hiking trails that range from easy to difficult.

Turn that daytrip into a camping adventure by pitching your tent or parking your RV in the campground. With paved sites, the campground offers a full menu of amenities, from a camp store and a swimming beach to boat rentals and playgrounds.
