Last updated: August 30, 2021

It is no secret that Camp Creek State Park is a Mercer County Gem. With two waterfalls and a central campground, it is a favorite among residents, looking to explore the outdoors. However, there is a vast network of trails throughout the forest waiting for you – while practicing social distancing.

Thirty-five miles of trails are open to hikers and mountain bikers. Read up on the trails and download our Camp Creek State Park Trail map below!
