French Creek State Park


Hello friends, here we are once again.... The southeast of Pennsylvania has a plethora of great parks. French Creek is no exception. It is actually two parks in one - French Creek and Hopewell Furnace. In one of our many day excursions, I suggested we get out and take a drive. Hopewell sounded really cool because they also have apple picking available, alot of historical varieties. Well, we ended up getting there right when they closed but it was okay cuz it was kinda chilly. It was right next to French Creek, which is a definite weekend getaway vacation. Okay, you've seen the movie Great Outdoors right? Well, this is the place... okay, maybe not, but it definitely looks like it. They have 3 different kinds of cool cabins as well as a couple of regular campgrounds. It has a nice size lake and tons of trails to hike. The first kind of camping cabin is called a cottage, which basically consists of a mini log cabin with bunkbeds and a heater and electricity. Outside is a fire ring and picnic table. Pretty cool... The second option is a nifty thing called a yurt. Totally mongorian!!! But it is a round solid wall tent with beds, heater, and a fridge, as well as an outdoor deck. NICE!! The final option and definitely the coolest is the real log cabin with beds, bathroom, kitchen, all the works... Uh, awesome!? ANd the best part is they are only 50 bucks a night!!! so cool. Of course, we had to hit the playground for Hazey....




When we get a more intensive look and stay we will post an update....
