Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Poe Valley Park adventure.
Discover the natural splendor of Poe Valley State Park. Â
Sitting on the honed knife-edge of Centre County is Poe Valley State Park. Inundated by the parkâs namesake, twenty-five-acre liquid oasis, Poe Lake is rippled with water-loving activities. From the areaâs sublime game fishing (including healthy, well-stocked populations of both rainbow and brown trout) to the water sporting opportunities (propelled by only electric-motors, mind you), youâll be hard-pressed to keep your fingertips from pruning. And, once you're all dried-out, Poe Valley State Park is well-manicured by the areaâs pristine, three-plus miles of hiking trails, all snaking through the seemingly endless wilderness of Bald Eagle State Forest. Pitch-up a tent at one of the parkâs primitive or electrically-fed campsites, lace-up your favorite pair of hiking boots, and take a walk on the wilder sideâtaking all the biotic beauty Poe Valley State Park has to offer!
The ideal time to visit Poe Valley State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer brings warm days perfect for water activities, while winter offers a quiet, frosty landscape for the hearty adventurer.
