About Big Elk Creek
Pennsylvania's newest state park, this 1,800-acre preserve in southern Chester County protects diverse habitats including floodplains, woodlands, meadows, and 3.5 miles of Big Elk Creek, a high-quality stream stocked with trout. The park serves as a wildlife corridor harboring rare species including the regal fritillary butterfly and short-eared owl, with trails connecting to Maryland's Fairhill Natural Resource Area.
