Samuel S. Lewis State Park
About
Samuel S. Lewis State Park is an 86-acre state park in Pennsylvania, about 2 miles from the town of East Prospect. The land is managed by the state park agency. Fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Safe Harbor Dam weather station show September highs around 77°F and October highs around 65°F, with fewer wet days than in spring or summer. The station sits at about 195 feet, so temperatures at the park may run a little cooler. The park makes a good base for a wider trip in the area. About 4 miles away, the Mason-Dixon Trail and the climbing at Chickies Rock and Main Wall are close by. Turkey Hill Trail is about 5 miles out.
