There are many beautiful boulder fields in Pennsylvania, but the one at Hickory Run State Park is extra special. This boulder fieldis about 16 acres in size and spans nearly 1,800 feet at its widest point. It is said to be the largest boulder field of its kind in all of the Appalachian Mountains. It is also one of only 27 National Natural Landmarks...
In the southeastern corner of the park, you’ll find Hawk Falls. At about 20-25 feet in height, this is far from the largest waterfall in the Poconos, but it is still an incredibly scenic spot to visit. Hawk Falls is located about half a mile from a large parking lot along Route 534 (and directly across the street from the trail to the Boulder Field...
There are many great trails in Hickory Run State Park, but none are as much fun to hike as the Shades of Death Trail. This trail runs a mile from near the historic chapel to the park office. Along the way, it passes two dam waterfalls, as well as several natural cascades. There are also two small ponds and some neat rocks to climb around. Don’t let...

While there are no lifeguards on duty, there is a nearby concession stand that is open during the summer if you nee...
Saylorsville Dam is one of several large but very natural-looking dams along Hickory Run. This dam, like the others, was built in the 1800s to harness the creek’s power, likely for the area’s sawmills. This dam is located along a one-way road that closely follows Hickory Run and passes through one of the least visited corners of the park. Parking i...
I’ve visited the majority of state parks in PA, and I can’t recall any others that officially have a stream crossing on one of the park’s roads. However, if you are driving the one-way road downstream of Saylorsville Dam, you’ll come to this unique spot. The Fordway is marked on the park’s map and consists of a concrete roadway that’s not elevated ...
