Welcome to Prince Gallitzin State Park, one of the 121 state parks and conservation areas in the state of Pennsylvania!

Prince Gallitzin State Park has 32.65 miles of trails.  From this parking lot location, you can access 6 of the park trails:

At Prince Gallitzin State Park, the forested hills of the Allegheny Plateau cradle sprawling Glendale Lake.  Vistas offer scenic views of the 1,635-acre lake with its 26 miles of shoreline, which is a favorite of anglers and boaters.  Campers flock to the large campground and also enjoy hiking and other outdoor activities.  The varied habitats of the park make it a home for many types of wildlife, and a rest stop in the spring and fall migrations.
