About Laurel Hill

A 4,062-acre park in Somerset County featuring the 63-acre Laurel Hill Lake with a 1,200-foot swimming beach. The park preserves the largest collection of CCC architecture in Pennsylvania's state parks, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Hemlock Trail Natural Area protects old-growth eastern hemlocks, while Jones Mill Run Dam cascades beautifully.
