Kooser State Park

I was recently gifted a Pennsylvania State Park Passport Book! If you’re not familiar, the book is full of information about the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, our state parks and state forests. There is a slot to record your visit to each destination. Most have a stamp you can put into your book to remember your visit!

Not so long ago I took a day trip to Kooser State Park. Just over 14 miles from Foggy Mountain Lodge & Pub, Kooser is conveniently located along PA-31.

I personally went for the hiking. My group decided to take the Kincora Trail. According to the PA DCNR the trail is considered “More difficult” and is 1.0 mile long, out & back. We did not encounter any other hikers on our trip, we had the woods all to ourselves it seemed like. I enjoyed the trail! It was well marked by yellow blazes on the trees.

When we finished the Kincora we decided to pop over to the Tree Army Trail and walked a portion of it. It takes you along Kooser Run and offers the soothing sounds of water. We did happen upon several people fishing in the stream some were having luck and some not quite yet! The Tree Army Trail makes a nice afternoon stroll.

Picnic tables are easily accessible so make sure you pack yourself a lunch and enjoy the beauty of this Pennsylvania State Park!
