About

Reeds Gap State Park encompasses 220 acres of wilderness in the New Lancaster Valley of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania. Large hemlocks and white pines cast cool shadows over Honey Creek, which flows through the park, creating a tranquil setting for primitive camping and outdoor recreation. The park offers a rustic camping experience with trails that wind through the woods and follow the banks of Honey Creek, connecting to the larger trail system in Bald Eagle State Forest. The 14-site campground is designed for tent camping only and welcomes pets. Campers have access to water at site #6 and a shower house located by Parking Lot B across State Park Road. The park provides opportunities for trout fishing in Honey Creek, wildlife watching, and hiking on trails that are also open for cross-country skiing during winter months. Educational programs are offered during late spring and summer, and the annual Reeds Gap Fall Festival takes place the second Saturday in October. Reeds Gap State Park maintains a wilderness character while providing essential amenities for a comfortable camping experience. The park is accessible from PA Route 322 at the Milroy Exit and serves as a quiet retreat for campers seeking a more primitive outdoor experience in central Pennsylvania.
