Crooked Creek Lake

1. Crooked Creek Lake

Park 38km from Butler · 46 sites
Soothe your nerves and brush up on your history at fun and educational Crooked Creek Lake! In addition to camping by a beautiful body of water in an area that’s breathtaking anytime of year (but especially in autumn), Crooked Creek Lake offers the opportunity to journey back in time on the Auto Tour Trail. The trail provides a history of the area all the way back to the Revolutionary War and includes information about one-room schoolhouses (talk about old-school!) and the first water-powered sawmill. You'll also have a chance to visit the environmental learning center. If you’re not too distracted by enjoying the environment first-hand, that is. With picnic areas, fishing, trails and even a beach area, Crooked Creek has everything you need for a wickedly cool weekend getaway.

Park 42km from Butler · 44 sites
Come watch the leaves change at this East Coast dreamboat. Loyalhanna Lake, just an hour outside of Pittsburgh, is just the city-goer’s escape you’ve been looking for. With topography ranging from rolling hills, to steep hillsides, and even ravines, you’ll know you're not in Pittsburgh anymore Toto. Whether you're a water-dweller or a landlubber, this park incorporates all the finest leisure to entice you to let loose. Fishing your jam? Try Serviceberry Run if you want a sure thing! Cast your line and anything from catfish, bass, and musky, will bite. A unique opportunity is to paddle the self-guided Willow Water Trail. But if you wanna try something different, go for one of the multiple hiking and biking trails in the area. Didn’t get enough on your day trip? Good news--the park has a campground that can accommodate you plus a group of your lake lovin’ besties.
