Gifford Pinchot State Park

If you have visited the park recently, you may have noticed that the lake is about 5 feet below normal pool level. This is to allow our maintenance staff to make repairs and improvements to certain areas of our park, like the swimming beach area in Quaker Race. You may have also noticed odd structures on the lake bottom, now visible because of the low water level. These are fish habitat improvement structures, placed in our lake with assistance from the PA Fish and Boat Commission. A map of current structures in our lake can be found here: https://www.fishandboat.com//Documen/lakePlans/pinchot.pdf

We want to remind hikers that archery deer hunting is permitted Sunday, November 15. While it is not required, people and pets are encouraged to wear fluorescent orange or another highly visible article of clothing.

Thank you veterans! Freedom isn't free.

We've been reminding you for weeks, and now is the day! Today, November 1 is the first day of the mandatory Cold Water Wear It law which runs through April 30. Learn more here: http://ow.ly/M0zV50BFx3g

Nineteen years from this Saturday is a long time to wait for another chance!
