The best camping near Lyman Run State Park guide

Overview

About

Sticky with the bleeding maples, inundating the blossoming cherry trees, Lyman Run State Park is a near six-hundred-acre oasis of biotic beauty. Alongside the like-named lake, you’ll be permeated by the wind-swept aromatics that perfume the area’s six-miles of pristine hiking trails. And, aside from the scenic greenery, the stream fishing that strides-through the heart of Lyman Run State Park is noted for having a healthy population of brook trout. So take a step-back from the concrete jungle and pitch-up a tent adjacent to the lake’s sunset-hued shorelines.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Lyman Run State Park is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and the park is in full bloom. Fall also offers a spectacular display of changing leaves. Winter can be harsh, with heavy snowfall limiting access to certain areas of the park.
