37 sites · RV, Tent

Cool, refreshing Kettle Creek Lake is just steps away from the sites at the Lower Campground. Also cool (in the “big brother who drives a Mustang” way): you can watch tons of water rush through the dam at the southern end of the campground. If you’ve got wee ones, try to snag the campsites on the northern end of the campground; they’re closer to the playground area.

Austin Dam Memorial Park

24mi from Kettle Creek State Park Lower Campground · 56 sites · Tents, RVs

Just outside the quaint town of Austin sits a vivid reminder of one of Pennsylvania's worst disasters – the Austin Flood. In 1909, the dam was constructed on Freeman Run to power the Bayless Papermill downstream. Many wondered if the dam was safe. On September 30, 1911, Austin found out. Poor construction, coupled with torrential rain, resulted in the dam's collapse. Nearly 400 million gallons of water were released, destroying everything for 8 miles. At least 78 people perished in the tragedy. It was the second worst flood disaster in Pennsylvania's history and sixth worst dam failure in U.S. history. The tragedy sparked new legislation to improve dam safety, and the Austin Dam was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The ruins of the dam still stand, surrounded by a 76-acre park, as a tribute to the lives lost in the Austin Flood. Don't miss one of Potter County's best kept secrets!
