Rickets Glenn SP ranks as my number one favorite SP in Pennsylvania. I enjoy the mountaintop elevation, Lake Jean, numerous waterfalls, hiking trails, and its relative isolation.

All are great suggestions, Colton Point has a magnificent view of the canyon. I agree with Cosmic, though....Ricketts Glen is incredible. Do the hike or you've missed the park, 20 plus sets of falls in a picturesque forest. Wonderful in mid summer as the falls are very refreshing. Great blueberry bushes by the lake!!!

I'll put another vote in for Hickory Run as my favorite.
There are many other PA parks I love though.

Wow, great pics of the Rickets Glen water falls! And wild blueberries, too? Thanks, that should be first on our list. Presque Isle looks beautiful, too. Growing up in Patton I remember many drives out to the then new Prince Gallitzen SP (it was called something else originally). When they first built the dam you could walk across the top as it filled to become the lovely lake it is now. I remember the trails as being very friendly and easy for casual walkers as well as hikers. Gosh, we are only one year away from retiring back to good ol PA. We can't wait to "take to the hills and trails".
Are there any state parks with historical significances (sp) ? Or any with covered bridges or old structures?

Ricketts Glen is my favorite park as well. A close second is World's End SP and it's right down the road.

McConnells Mills in Lawrence County has a covered bridge. And nice trails.

Sunsets at Presque Isle are outstanding.
