Simon B. Elliott State Park
About
Simon B. Elliott State Park is a Pennsylvania state park about 6 miles from the town of Plymptonville. The park itself is the land unit here, managed by the state's park and recreation agency, and it serves as a base for a cluster of hiking and mountain biking trails close by. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the Clearfield Lawrence airport weather station, about 7.5 miles away, put July highs near 82°F with lows around 59°F, while September cools to highs in the low 70s. Trails start right at the park's doorstep. Old Horse Trail, a mountain biking route, sits less than half a mile away, and the Old Sinnemahoning and Hobo Hill hiking trails are each about a mile off. Climbers can head roughly 9 miles to Bilger's Rocks.
