This park is located in the scenic Seven Mountains area of Pennsylvania. The Mid State Trail bisects the park and provides backpacking opportunties in the Ridge and Valley Province. Extensive forested areas provide hikers with a variety of habitats, wildlife and many scenic vistas.
This 41-acre park is in an isolated area of the Seven Mountains region known as the Stone Creek Kettle. While this Centre County park is small in size, it is surrounded by an 80,000-acre block of Rothrock State Forest. Penn Roosevelt is a good base for those seeking low-density recreation on this vast expanse of public land.
