Hyner Run State Park was originally developed by the men of Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) S-75-PA Camp Hyner. Although most traces of the camp are gone, some remain as reminders of that era, like plantation number 10-44-8, which are the red and white pines planted throughout the park. The park opened to the public in 1958 with the completion of the swimming pool, bathhouse, concession, picnic area, and restrooms. The camping area opened in 1975.

Thousands of acres of adjoining state forest are also open to hunting. Hunting woodchucks, also known as groundhogs, is prohibited. Dog training is only permitted from the day following Labor Day through March 31 in designated hunting areas.

Snowmobiles may be operated on designated trails and roads from the day following the last deer season in December until April 1, weather permitting. The focal point of Hyner View State Park is the overlook wall, constructed in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. In 1949, the present park access road was built providing vehicular access to the view. With the opening of this road, the Flaming Foliage Festival, a local tourist promotion project, was first held at the view. This festival has since outgrown the view and has been moved to Renovo.
