Salt Springs State Park, Pennsylvania

A little park that packs a big punch, Salt Springs State Park plays host to massive, ancient hemlock trees, a rocky gorge, and three scenic waterfalls. Fish for native and stocked trout in both Silver Creek and Fall Brook, hike the beautiful trails that traverse the park and neighboring lands, and pitch your tent along the banks of Silver Creek and let the rushing water sing you to sleep. Grab a Birds of Salt Springs State Park checklist before exploring the park, and look for the 150 species of birds that pass through the park. At just 400 acres, it’s a tiny slice of eastern paradise.
