North Park, Pennsylvania, United States

4.5 (54 reviews) Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #1 in Pennsylvania Parks

Slight fading Autumn day...

...but still beautiful and colorful. Though I think I missed the full force of it's foliage by a week, nevertheless this park is awesome. I like to hike, and I did the orange trail today which basically circles the park's public golf course. It's a somewhat moderate trail with some difficult, and I think it totals about 5 miles in length. The trail is well maintained, but I did see a whole lot of downed and dead trees along the way - more than most trails I go to around here - maybe it's the time of year. I drove around the park after

Exceptional
We are from Lake County IL, where the park system is considered among the best in the US. North Park is every bit as good. The lake is clean, stocked with fish and has available a variety of boating opportunities. The grounds are pristine with comfortable walking spaces. There is a restaurant loaded with ambience inside out. Unfortunately, the food was hit and miss. Five Guys hamburgers are much better and the fries were buried in salt. Our salads and dressing were a real plus. Pepsi products are served. We will visit this very special park again.

Nice, but too crowded at peak times
North Park offers different amenities (kayaking, tennis, swimming pool) and is a great community park. That said, the lane designated for all of the bikers, walkers, and joggers that are there is simply too narrow at peak times. The best thing to do, if possible, is go early in the morning or later in the evening. The walk along Lakeshore Drive offers views of the lake here and there, and it is not uncommon to see heron on one of the ponds or deer feeding on the grassy hills. Next to the boathouse/kayak rental building is a nice casual restaurant that has a view of the lake and nearby is an ice cream stand. There are many picnic groves and pavilions in the park available for rent; we have had many large picnics there without any problems and you can enjoy a long day there as you don't have to leave the park until midnight.
