Check out what's new at Keystone State Park. We'll post pictures of the park, riddles, nature facts and park event and program information on this page. You can also learn about volunteer opportunities!
Keystone State Park boasts a 78-acre man-made lake and a 100 year old Stone Lodge, compliments of the Keystone Coal and Coke Company that mined here years ago. The park was opened to the public in 1945, although its recreational use started years before. Located in Derry Township, this 1,200-acre park offers a wide variety of recreational and educational opportunities year round. Visitors enjoy the picnic areas of the park, pavilions, campgrounds, cottages, yurts, and modern cabins. Keystone Lake is ideal for swimming, boating (electric motor or non-powered boats), and fishing. Many hikers enjoy the beauty of the lake as they stroll along Lakeside Trail. Nature programs, as well as historical “Coal Mining Times” programs, are available year round. Stop in the James A. Kell Visitor Center for a tour of the Old Stone Lodge and to learn about upcoming programs and events. One way to explore the park is to hit the trails, for scenic and sometimes challenging hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Biking (on park roads and Lakeside Trail), hunting, ice fishing, sledding, and wildlife watching are some other activities you can enjoy at Keystone State Park.
