About Oil Creek

A 7,007-acre park preserving the site of the world's first commercial oil well and the birthplace of the petroleum industry. The park follows Oil Creek through a scenic valley once filled with oil derricks, now returned to forest. A paved 9.7-mile bike trail, hiking, cross-country skiing, and canoeing provide recreation.
