Parker Dam State Park

Coddled by the nearly fifty-thousand acres of the surrounding Quehanna Wilderness, Parker Dam State Park is a dense one-thousand-acre oasis that’s teeming with faunal charisma. Aside from the plethora of wildlife watching opportunities (free-roaming elk are known to have their vocalizations echo through the parks still silences), you’ll be treated to a wide array of camping options that populate the eastern end of the park. Here, there’s numerous campsites that not only offer trail accessibility―but electricity too. Your smartphone’s battery-life will be thanking you with notifications. However, for the sake of enamoring yourself with what all the biotic―and abiotic―factors that inundate your surrounding, it may be best to turn-off your feeds for the weekend, catalysing the tranquillity to follow.
