Leonard Harrison State Park Attraction Details
Leonard Harrison State Park
http://www.visitPAparks.com
Leonard Harrison offers spectacular vistas and a fabulous view of Pine Creek Gorge, Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. The scenery is superb in every season of the year and is especially stunning in early October. The hiking trails traverse very rugged terrain, passing close to many steep cliffs affording an abundance of unique sights. The Pine Creek Trail runs through the bottom of the gorge and provides great bicycling.

The campground, offering rustic sites and some sites with electricity, is open from the second Friday in April until the third Sunday in October. Picnic tables, fire rings, water, rustic toilets and a sanitary dump station are provided.

Fishing is available to those visitors who wish to make the long, steep hike to the bottom of the canyon to Pine Creek. Species include trout, smallmouth bass and panfish. Nearby trout streams include Marsh Creek, Stoney Fork Creek, Asaph Run, Straight Run and Four-Mile Run, which is along the Turkey Path Trail.

The Turkey Path Trail descends one mile to the bottom of Pine Creek Gorge. A beautiful vista, one-half mile down the Turkey Path Trail, was constructed by the Youth Conservation Corps in 1978. Shortly after the vista, there is a scenic waterfall along the path on Little Four-Mile Run. Major improvements on the Turkey Path Trail, including steps, observation decks and hand rails were completed by the Pennsylvania Conservation Corps in 1993.

The Pine Creek Trail traverses the abandoned ConRail Railway along Pine Creek; the trail can be accessed to the north at Darling Run Access near Ansonia and to the south at Blackwell Access. The groomed surface is great for hiking and non-motorized biking. Winter snow creates quality cross-country skiing along this 22-mile trail.
