Reeds Gap State Park is 220 acres of wilderness in the New Lancaster Valley of Mifflin County. Reeds Gap is reached from U.S. Route 322 from Milroy by following park signs for seven miles.
Native and stocked trout are found in Honey Creek and smaller mountain streams like Reeds Gap Run. Hiking trails offer access to Honey Creek. The spring months offer the best angling.
Reeds Gap State Park offers a number of hiking trails. Contact the park office or visit the park website for more trail information.
The campground, for tents only, is open from the second Friday in April to the third Sunday in October. Call toll-free (voice) 888-PA-PARKS (voice 888-727-2757)for reservations.
Two, free, guarded swimming pools offer about 4,000 square feet of water for swimming. The small children's pool is shallow. The larger pool is shallow at both ends and five feet deep in the middle. The pools are open 11 A.M. to 7 P.M. daily from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, unless posted otherwise. The pools are normally closed weekdays until mid-June. A modern bathhouse with flush toilets and hot showers is beside the pool.
Four mostly wooded picnic areas are available year-round. There is ample parking, tables, a multi-station playground and one small, non-reservable shelter. Modern flush toilets and running water are available during the warmer months. Downstream from the swimming pools, a hand pump is available year-round.
Cross country skiers can enjoy the trails, service roads and open areas. About five miles of ungroomed trails are available with proper snow conditions.
Some picnic tables, the middle restroom and the park office are A.D.A. accessible. Service roads may be used to provide access for people with disabilities. Parking permits are available from the park office.
