Hickory Run State Park, Pennsylvania

If the fast pace of this modern world has you down, pack up and head out to the Poconos and the magical world of Hickory Run State Park. You’ll find more than 15,000 acres of wild lands, including vibrant, free-flowing trout streams, a strange, but beautiful, boulder-strewn field, and more than 40 miles of hiking trails.

The Hickory Run woods are overrun with wildflowers in the springtime, giving way to masses of rhododendron and mountain laurels in June. A full-service campground makes vacationing a breeze, and if sleeping in the great outdoors isn’t your thing, rent one of the beautiful deluxe cabins for a touch of luxury. Either way, you owe it to yourself and your family to check this place out.
