About Poe Valley State Park

Explore the natural beauty of Poe Valley State Park in Penn Township, Pennsylvania, a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. With a variety of trails catering to all abilities, Poe Valley offers something for everyone. Stroll along the universally-accessible Poe Lake Trail, a short 0.4-mile out-and-back path hugging the southern shore of Poe Lake, providing stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Witness water activities such as fishing, swimming, and paddling in the warmer months, and bring your leashed dog along for the adventure (remember to clean up after them!).

For more scenic vistas, take the 0.3-mile paved and universally-accessible Poe Lake Dam Trail, crossing the dam for panoramic views of the lake and mountains. If you're seeking a woodland experience, the 0.9-mile Poe Valley Nature Trail loop winds through the forest and alongside a creek. Be aware that this trail can be quite buggy, especially during warmer months like July. With ample parking and dog-friendly trails (on leashes), Poe Valley State Park is an ideal destination for a relaxing day in nature.
