About
Bendigo State Park is a 100-acre day-use park located in a small valley surrounded by picturesque hills in northern Pennsylvania. About 20 acres of the park is developed, with half dedicated to a large, shaded picnic area. The forest is predominantly northern hardwoods including beech, birch, cherry, and maple. The East Branch of the Clarion River flows through the park, providing excellent fishing opportunities. Once polluted by abandoned mine drainage, the river has been restored and is now stocked with trout by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The park features a swimming pool, basketball court, volleyball area, playground, and three reservable pavilions that can accommodate up to 64 people each. This is a day-use park only with no overnight camping facilities. The park is open year-round from 8:00 AM to sunset, though the swimming pool and pavilions operate seasonally from May through September. Reservations for pavilions can be made up to 11 months in advance through the Pennsylvania State Parks reservation system.
