Directions and Factoids
Directions: From Allentown, travel north on PA Turnpike Northeast Extension to Mahoning Valley
Interchange, Exit 74. Exit onto US Rt. 209 north. Make left turn onto N. Harrity Rd. Turn
right onto Pohopoco Dr. Follow signs to Beltzville State Park.
Factoid: The 3,600 acre Beltzville State Park is in the southern foothills of the Poconos. Pohopoco
Creek, an excellent trout stream, feeds the 947 acre Beltzville Lake, which is a rest stop
for migrating waterfowl and is a destination for boaters and anglers. The sand beach and
picnic pavilions are very popular. The park also offers 15 miles of hiking trails and
offers hunting opportunities on over 1700 acres of land.
Recreational facilities are a result of a cooperative effort of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, DCNR's Bureau of State Parks and the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
NOTICE: Many states are discouraging or banning movement of firewood to control spread of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Not bringing wood from home to your campsite and not taking unused wood you procure while camping home with you is recommended -- required in some states.
