Ricketts Glen
State Park
Length: 1.0 miles
Rating: Easy
Guided tours will take you into our old growth forest, one of the few
stands remaining in all of Pennsylvania. Here you can see a hemlock that
stood on this continent before Columbus. This is an easy 1 mile hike into
the past. See the park environmental education specialist for tour times.
This area is actually in Luzerne County, but since some of Ricketts
Glen State Park is in Columbia County, this area will be included here.
Directions:
The park is 30 miles north of Bloomsburg on PA 487. The section of PA 487
from the town of Red Rock to the Lake Jean area of the park is a very steep
road. Heavy trailer units should avoid this hill and enter the park by
taking PA 487 south from Dushore.
