About Colton Point

A 368-acre park on the west rim of Pine Creek Gorge, the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. CCC-era rustic facilities from the 1930s provide scenic overlooks of the 800-foot-deep, 4,000-foot-wide gorge. The Turkey Path Trail descends steeply to the canyon floor and Pine Creek Rail Trail. The park offers camping, fall foliage viewing, and habitat for black bear and wild turkey.
