RV rental Parker Dam State Park, PA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

There is a range of outdoor activities to take part in when you go camping at Parker Dam State Park. This state park has about 16 miles of interesting hiking trails to explore, and many of the trails pass through the park and continue on into the Moshannon Forest. Some of the trails go through streams and hardwood forests. Try the Abbot Hollow Trail, covering 1.7 miles of a wilderness valley that was destroyed by a tornado that swept through the area in 1985. It’s interesting to observe the habitats and how they survive the tornado and strive today. For an easy hike, consider Beaver Dam Trail, covering 2.3 miles of a muddy hike, with plenty of beavers around to keep you entertained. Keep a watch for lookout signs for these amazing creatures. The CCC Trail is a walk into history as the Civilian Conservation Corps used the trail as a road. It’s an easy hike through Pine plantations. For a difficult hike, attempt the Laurel Run Trail that covers one mile. Just be sure to bring plenty of water along for whichever trail you decide to conquer. Anglers are able to try their luck in the 20-acre Parker Lake. Trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, and brown bullhead catfish abound in the lake that is also popular for ice fishing in the winter. If you enjoy boating, rent paddleboats, kayaks, canoes and rowboats from the park. There are mooring spaces available, and for your motorboats remember to display your registration details. During certain seasons, hunting is permitted in designated areas of the park. Common game species include deer, bear, rabbit, and grouse. Take special care of firearms when you are out hunting. Safekeeping of firearms in no-hunting areas is especially important.
