Leonard Harrison State Park

Carved within the well-hidden, leaf littered canyon face of neighboring Tioga State Forest, Leonard Harrison State Park is a scenic oasis from the everyday. Boasting some of Pennsylvania's most magnificent photo ops, the near six-hundred-acre expanse rims the eastern half of the area’s famous Pine Creek Gorge; Native Americans famously used this terrestrial haven for trade and major travel. Aside from the lense-focusing activities that backdrop Leonard Harrison State Park, there’s a plethora (in face, miles-’n’-miles) of pristine hiking trails. But make sure to lace-up your hiking boots extra tight; the terrain is known to be quite a bit ragged at some points. However, unlike the snaking trails, the area’s campsites aren’t nearly as hard-edged―they’re quite soft. Both you and your rechargeable LED flashlight will be satisfied.
