Poe Paddy

MOAK (Donald Diehl)

If you want to almost get off the grid while camping in the heart of the Bald Eagle State Forest, then this campground is for you. The pit toilets are clean and there are opportunities for a very nice walk in the woods, over a foot bridge and through a railroad tunnel or bring your trail bicycles for a nice ride on an old railroad bed. World Class Fly fishing is year round, catch & release.

Beautiful park with miles of dirt roads! Just be aware if you are on Poe Paddy Rd at Penns View Overlook and continue on past Ingleby Overlook heading down towards the campground, there are a few sections of the road that are badly washed out to the point that I really wasn't sure we'd get through without bottoming out. We have a Jeep GC Trailhawk with the auto suspension for which I was very grateful! The pictures don't really reflect how bad it was. Heck of an adventure though! 😎

An outstanding Pennsylvania State Park, tucked away in the Appalachian mountains. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with some of the best fishing in all of the state. If you're a fly fisherman like I am, these are hallowed waters. Plenty of camping sites, from group camping to single person camping access. There are also many things and many trails to explore, for children and family alike. There's a really cool tunnel, that leads right through the mountain on a walking path. I will note that this park is far away from civilization, so make sure you have all of your supplies, food and incidentals before you get to the park. Make sure you are ready for a long ride into the park, it is at least a 25-minute drive from the last paved road. There's also no cell phone reception, so be aware of that before you get down there into the thick of it. There is a playground for kids, and there are RV access hookups, it is also very secluded in the rainforest of Pennsylvania, so make sure you bring the proper gear and attire to deal with the conditions, wildlife and insect life. And again, it is one of the most pristine fisheries in the state, with native, wild, and stocked trout. The people I've run into there were very friendly, and I saw many different license plates from all over the country. This park is also located next to another state park which is called Poe valley State Park, which has adam. Just make sure you make reservations for the right location as it is difficult to navigate if you make an early mistake. I recommend downloading an offline localized map from Google maps, So you have your bearings. It is truly amazing environment. With a lot of history going back to its creator by the Great depression and the civilian conservation corps. If you're looking for a place to explore that is off the beaten path , swing on down to Poe paddy.

Beautiful views, winding river, nicely laid out camping sites. No phone service, long gravel road entrance seems to be more one lane than two. Very secluded and relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful, quiet park surrounded by Bald Eagle State Forest. You can hear the stream at most sites through the night. We saw a bald eagle fly down Penns Creek. Poe Valley is near by with a small lake for swimming and kayaking. Rangers make frequent rounds. Park is very clean and sites are well maintained. They even left free firewood for campers.
