About Big Spring

A 45-acre picnic and hiking destination tucked into Conococheague Mountain in Perry County. The park serves as a trailhead for the Iron Horse Trail and features a partially completed 19th-century railroad tunnel that failed during construction. CCC-built pavilions and the surrounding Tuscarora State Forest provide opportunities for day hiking and winter snowmobile access.
