On the west rim of Pine Creek Gorge, this state park was partially developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The 1-mile Rim Trail gives good views over the canyon. There are no offices or info centers on this side, just restrooms and trails. Visit the Leonard Harrison State Park on the other side for park information.
