Trough Creek State Park is along a scenic gorge created as Great Trough Creek cuts through Terrace Mountain and empties into Raystown Lake. This 554-acre park is bordered by Rothrock State Forest and Raystown Lake Recreation Area. Trough Creek State Park was recognized for its natural and geological beauty during the mid-1930s when the CCC constructed park trails and facilities. This park offers beautiful hiking trails, scenic picnicking and is a quiet place to relax.
