NEW Ricketts Glen State Park Full-Hookup Sites!

[Don M]

Can anyone give me any information on this place? May try it this spring camping/fishing.

I know it had been drained in 2015 and I only assume it is back up to speed:

Lots to do in the whole area.

Yeah I se it was partially drained, but stocked with trout. If we do book a camp site, I'll reach out then.

Really cool place. I planned to stay there last year, but it fills up quick for camp sites. Especially on the weekends. I wanted to kyack it and see what fish were there. Do the falls trail hike while there too. It's one of the best day hikes in PA. I did do that with the daughter last summer. We did the approach from the south and the full loop which is @ 8 miles, but you can cut that down to 4 if you start up by the campsites and you only miss 2 waterfalls.

Couple photos from the falls trail.

Lake Jean at Ricketts has been fishing well the past couple of years. They had all catch & release regulations in place for several years after the dam was rebuilt.
