Surrounded by Elk State Forest, Sinnemahoning is on the First Fork of the Sinnemahoning Creek and has picturesque views of the surrounding mountains and deep valleys. There is an abundance of wildlife, including nesting bald eagles, elk, and many birds and butterflies. Situated in Cameron and Potter counties, the park is nestled between the green-shouldered ridges of Pennsylvania’s Elk State Forest and Susquehannock State Forest. The Sinnemahoning State Park Office and Wildlife Center opened during 2011. This LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified green building provides office space for park administration and an area for park interpretive programs and environmental education classes. The center also provides information to help orient visitors and offers a centrally-located starting point for exploration of the Pennsylvania Wilds. The center also includes a gallery of interactive, interpretive exhibits that highlight the history and ecology of the First Fork Valley. A small retail area features the work of locatl artizans and other outdoor-oriented, American-made products. Call the park for current hours of operation.
