History
James F. Hillman, president of Harmon Creek
Coal Corporation, donated 3,654 acres of land to
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for outdoor
recreational purposes in 1969. At that time, the
donation was the largest single land gift for a state
park in the country.
Before opening to the public, the former coal
mining site underwent extensive reclamation to
restore habitat and address abandoned mine
drainage issues. From 1970 through 1977, work
included filling, grading, erosion control, soil
treatment with fly ash, and additional plantings.

Park, please visit www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/
