About French Creek

A 7,977-acre park straddling the Schuylkill Highlands as the largest contiguous forest between Washington D.C. and New York City. Two lakes, 40 miles of trails, and diverse habitats earned designation as both an Important Bird Area and Important Mammal Area. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site lies within the park, and Pine Swamp is a protected natural area.
