Raccoon Creek State Park stretches for more than 7,500 acres throughout Beaver County, located just half an hour from Pittsburgh near the city of Hookstown. The charming state park is a top site for year-round outdoor recreation in the greater Pittsburgh region, offering chances for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing throughout the year on its lovely trail system. It is located on the grounds of the former Victorian-era Frankfort Mineral Springs site, which was operated by Edward McGinnis in the mid-19th century. Since the 1930s, it has expanded to become one of Pennsylvania's largest parks, home to the picturesque 101-acre Raccoon Lake, which offers opportunities for swimming, fishing, and boating. Overnight camping facilities range from modern tent and trailer campsites to luxurious rental cabins, which features full kitchens, dining rooms, and living rooms.
