Review & FAQ:

Rolling hills, verdant river valleys, rushing cascades, marshes, and swamp forests provide a natural backdrop for East Fork Lake and State Park. The 2,600-acre William Harsha Lake sits in the midst of East Fork State Park offering visitors unlimited horsepower boating, kayaking, fishing, hybrid striper sport fishing, and swimming along a 1,200-foot swim beach with changing rooms and showers, plus a vending area. The park offers picnicking with grills, shelters, and drinking water. Avid hikers and backpackers will love the 46 miles of backcountry trails, the 16-mile Backpack Trail, and the 32-mile Perimeter Trail. Hunting is permitted in a designated area of the park and includes ADA accessible blinds.
