Reeds Gap State Park: Free Guided Outings

Join DCNR Educator Kylie Orndorf for a relaxing walk along Honey Creek as we discuss this largely coniferous area and the history of the area. This trail is moderately flat with a few hills and uneven sections as we work our way through the towering hemlocks.

Experience the natural beauty of Reeds Gap State Park, a 220-acre wilderness nestled in the New Lancaster Valley of Mifflin County. The park derives its name from Edward and Nancy Reed, who established a water-powered sawmill along Honey Creek in the mid-19th century. Towering hemlocks and white pines provide a serene canopy over Honey Creek, a pristine waterway that meanders through the park.
