I was lucky enough to grow up just a few miles from this lovely park in Washington County, PA. Mingo Creek runs thru the length of the park and there are many trails and picnic areas. I have fond memories of playing frisbee and flipping over rocks to catch crayfish when I was a little kid.
There are two active covered bridges in the park, Henry and Ebenezer. Both date from the 19th century.
