Welcome to Prince Gallitzin State Park, one of the 121 state parks and conservation areas in the state of Pennsylvania!
ADA Kayak
Kayaking is a fun recreational pursuit that anyone can enjoy, especially on flat-water. The hardest part about kayaking is getting in and out of the kayak in the water!
The Friends of Prince Gallitzin State Park (FOPG), a non-profit all-volunteer group that helps the park with events, park maintenance, and construction supported the efforts of Park management to install a new ADA compliant kayak launch at this site. Major funding was secured by Park Management. The Park funded and supported installation of the ADA Kayak Launch. The FOPG supported the installation of the access to the new ADA Kayak launch. This launch site provides greater access onto the lake with more ease, for more people.
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.
