Lyman Run State Park

Welcome to Pennsylvania's Lyman Run State Park.

Park History: This piece of land is named for one of the first settlers of Potter County, Major Isaac Lyman, a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Like much of Pennsylvania, the regoin's timber resources were heavily harvested in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Goodyear brothers owned large tracts of land used for logging and built a railroad terminal that eventually dispatched 100 railcars of timber daily. The last private owner of this land was the R.J. Gaffney company and in 1913 logging stopped altogether. In the roaring 1920's the State of Pennsylvania purchased this land and with the help of the Civilian Conservation Corps, many restorations were done and many amenities constructed over the years.

Wildlife: Lyman Run State Park helps protect the home of numerous wild animals including wild turkeys, loons, ducks, bobcats, white-tailed deer, coyotes, and black bears. Please treat their home with respect.

For the lover of the outdoors Lyman Run boasts a stream stocked with trout, miles of hiking trails, geocaching opportunities, and much more. Come on out and explore!
