In the heart of the Laurel Highlands at an altitude
of 2,600 feet, Kooser State Park attracts visitors year-round to its
250 acres of forest and the beautiful trout stream that flows the
full length of the park. The park’s original design character was
stamped by the Civilian Conservation Corps projects of the 1930s
that established the existing lake and most of its use areas, its
architecture and site details. The park design stresses rustic
values in site and building materials and in their application:
native stone, rough sawn and stained wood surfaces, log and timber
members. |
