This sawmill is unlike any bandmill, boasting a massive 4 and a half-foot circular saw, a relic from the years between 1935 and 1945. Its rhythmic, melodic hum fills the air, blending seamlessly with the symphony of nature. The captivating noise created an enchanting ambiance, luring those in search of solace and beauty.

The cabin is a sanctuary where one can witness the wonders of nature, just a walk away from the roaring sawmill. Come check out a piece of preserved history all while enjoying pristine wooded views! Take a step back in time and immerse yourself in history. Enjoy the power of the circular saw, a symbol of the immense progress and craftsmanship of yesteryears. Together, the cabin, the forest, and the sawmill form a perfect harmony — a testament to the beauty of nature entwined with mankind's desire to create. It offers a glimpse into a world where modernity meets tradition, where breathtaking views and the symphony of the sawmill entice all who venture here to enjoy.

The best camping near Hyner Run State Park guide

Overview

About

Echoed by the stream-movements that permeate the network of cave systems, Hyner Run State Park is a cavernous oasis, well-hidden in the surround vegetation of Sproul State Forest. And did we mention that Sproul State Forest is Pennsylvania's most expansive forest? Because it is, two-hundred and eighty-thousand acres of it. Aside from the area’s canopy-savvy trees, Hyner Run State Park is teeming with handicap accessible, modern campsites; most of these sites include sewage and trailer hook-ups as well, all situated within the vicinity of well-manicured hiking trails. Take a leisurely weekend away from the colonial concrete jungle, lace-up your hiking boots, and spool your fishing reel. Hyner Run State Park will be more than happy to facilitate some solid maternal bonding time with Mother Nature.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Hyner Run State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's full splendor is on display. Winter can be harsh, with snow limiting access to certain areas, making it less ideal for visits.

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Be aware of park hours, typically from sunrise to sunset, and plan your activities accordingly.
Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
Stay on designated trails to protect the park's natural habitats and your own safety.
Visit the park's website or contact the visitor center for the latest information on closures and accessibility.
