Laurel Hill
State Park
A Pennsylvania Recreational Guide for
Pennsylvania State Parks Mission
The primary purpose of Pennsylvania state parks is to provide
opportunities for enjoying healthful outdoor recreation and serve as
outdoor classrooms for environmental education. In meeting these
purposes, the conservation of the natural, scenic, aesthetic, and
historical values of parks should be given first consideration.
Stewardship responsibilities should be carried out in a way that
protects the natural outdoor experience for the enjoyment of current
and future generations.

so that it could be converted to better use.
In 1936, the National Park Service was
given the responsibility of the Recreational
Demonstration Areas. Laurel Hill was one of
five areas in Pennsylvania that was targeted
for restoration and reforestation, organized
group camping, and day picnicking.
Beginning in 1935, with cooperation of
the Pennsylvania Department of Forests
and Waters, men of the Works Progress
Administration and the Civilian Conservation
Corps (CCC) began building roads, trails,
bridges, and recreational facilities.
Two CCC camps, NP-5-PA and SP-15
arrived on July 1, 1935, and began building
camps for themselves (currently Group Camp
8 and Group Camp 5). The 200 young men in
each camp worked year round building park
facilities including group camps, picnic areas,
waterlines, roads, the beach house, and Laurel
Hill Lake. World War II ended the CCC.
In October of 1945, the Department of
the Interior transferred the project to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and it
became Laurel Hill State Park.
The Laurel Hill Recreational
Demonstration Area Historic District includes
all CCC-constructed buildings and structures
that retain a significant degree of integrity.
The district contains 202 buildings on 1,352
acres of land, which is the largest collection
of CCC architecture in Pennsylvania
State Parks.
Directions
Laurel Hill State Park consists of 4,512 acres

visitors to explore the park and observe the
diversity of plants and wildlife. The Jones
Mill Run Dam and the Hemlock Trail
Natural Area are two must-see destinations
on your visit.

HISTORY
Far longer than many areas of the state, the
Laurel Hill Valley escaped the unbridled
logging that swept through Pennsylvania.
The steep stream valleys and rugged hills
made logging difficult until technology laid
the tracks to enable the trees to be hauled to
mills. Powerful, slow locomotives climbed
the switchback tracks through Laurel Hill and
hauled the logs to mills. From 1886 to 1940,
logging companies clear-cut the trees of the
park, leaving behind a wasteland of brambles
prone to forest fires and flooding. Only the
Hemlock Trail Natural Area escaped the
loggers’ reach.
Beginning in 1935, the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration began purchasing
sub-marginal agricultural and forest land
WILDLIFE WATCHING
The rich flora and fauna of Laurel Hill State
Park make it a great place to watch wildlife
year round. The mixed deciduous forest is
dominated by oak, maple, cherry, and poplar
trees with an understory of witch hazel,
serviceberry, rhododendron, and mountain
laurel. Although most of the park was timbered
in the early 1900s, for unknown reasons the
Hemlock Trail Natural Area remains intact.
Many of the massive eastern hemlocks within
this six-acre old growth stand are over 300
years old. Look and listen for black-throated
green warblers and blackburnian warblers who
depend on this unique habitat.
Wildflowers are common and range from
the early blooming trillium and spring beauty
that grace the trail edges, to the bee balm
that colors the fields and roadsides well into
November.
Whether by sound or sight, visitors can
enjoy a wide variety of bird species, both
migrant and resident. Especially popular are
the tree swallows and eastern bluebirds that
inhabit the park’s man-made nest boxes. The
trail winds from below the campground to the
meadow across from the visitor center. This
relatively open area is also a popular hunting
ground for diurnal raptors, such as the redtailed hawk, and nocturnal predators, such as
tiny screech owls that nest in the area
each year.
In the spring and early summer, calls of
spring peepers, bullfrogs, and American toads
fill the night, intermingled with the haunting
calls of great horned and barred owls. Ruffed
grouse drum on air making a
sound like an engine trying
to start.
Late in the
summer, the chirps,
trills, and buzzes
of katydids,
cicadas, and
tree crickets
fill the night.
Small mammals
like woodchucks,
chipmunks, and gray,
red, and fox squirrels
are commonly seen
throughout the park
during daylight
hours. White-tailed
deer and eastern
cottontail rabbits
are most often seen
at dawn or dusk in the
open meadow areas. The
elusive mink, fox, black
bear, coyote, bobcat, and
fisher have been spotted in
the park. Familiar to every
camper are the skunk,
raccoon, and opossum that
search for carelessly stored
camp foods.
Please observe wildlife
only from a distance and do
not feed wildlife.

Civilian Conservation Corps.
Water Line Trail: 0.6 mile, more difficult hiking
An uphill grade from the Pumphouse Trail Parking Lot,
this trail is perfect for viewing geologic features such as the
lepidodendron fossils common to the park.
