Things to Do at Gifford Pinchot State Park

There's a playground, volleyball courts, and horseshoe pits.

Hiking Trails!

Experience Pinchot Lake.

Enjoy a round of disc golf with friends at one of two 18-hole courses.

Check out the diabase boulders and rock outcrops throughout the park that make for picturesque lake scenes or spots for quiet solitude.

Pinchot Lake offers 340 acres of "Big Bass" waters to challenge even the most experienced angler, or plentiful bluegills to delight even the youngest angler with a fishing pole.

Enjoy a night under the stars in the campground with friends!

Campfires and S'mores!

This event's location is ADA accessible. If you need accommodation to participate in park activities, please let PYM staff know.
