Description - Hyner Run State Park was originally developed as a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp. Although most traces of the camp are gone, some remain as reminders of that era. In 1944, much of the park was planted with red and white pine, known as plantation number 10-44-8. The park opened to the public in 1958 with the completion of the swimming pool, bathhouse, concession, picnic area and restrooms. A camping area was later added to the park and was opened to the public in 1975. The 180 acres of Hyner Run State Park offer fishing in the Hyner Run, camping, cabins, hiking, picnicking, playground area, swimming and snowmobiling. Approximately 20 acres of Hyner Run State Park are open to hunting, trapping and the training of dogs during established seasons. Common game species are deer, bear, turkey and ruffed grouse. Other public lands in the area include: Bucktail, Sproul, Bald Eagle, Kettle Creek, Little Pine, Ole Bull and Hyner View.
