Laurel Hill State Park
One of five Recreational Demonstration Areas created in Pa. by the National Park Service during the Great Depression to improve land use. Between 1935 and 1941, workers from the CCC and WPA New Deal programs built roads, buildings, and sites here to support many types of recreation. Laurel Hill is the most intact RDA in Pa., retaining examples of all of its original property types. The park continues its legacy of conservation begun in 1935.
