One method: where Yellow and White meet Red, your GPS will tell
you which way. There is another method that gets you to Bus Parking

Take time to check out the Fire Tower. Although the public is
not allowed up in it, there are some tables for lunch down
below.

More than 30 miles of well-marked
trails cover a large portion of the park's 7,339 acres. Trail maps
are available by the park office. Hikers at French Creek have a
wide variety of opportunities for quiet reflection, nature study
and physical challenge. Trailhead parking is located in many
convenient areas.
The heavily forested, scenic
hills of French Creek State Park provide habitat for plants and
animals in the ever-expanding urban environment of southeastern
Pennsylvania. Large oak, poplar, hickory, maple, and beech trees
cover much of the park, with a sparse understory of mountain
laurel, rhododendron and other brushy plants. This large, diverse
environment supports many animals that take advantage of the high
quality of the resources found at French Creek. If you are
observant while at the park you will see deer, squirrels, raccoons,
songbirds, and numerous other small animals and birds. The park
sustains good populations of resident birds and animals, but also
serves as an important stop for migratory species using the
woodlands, streams, lakes, and wetlands for food and
cover.
Camp sites are available
year-round. These can be reserved up to noon of the day of arrival.
They even have cabins available! Call 888-PA-PARKS to reserve
one.
