Park Visitor: Comments, Memories and Reviews

June 30 A Favorite of Ours

We live relatively close to this park and enjoy visiting it very much. Very nice place for families as it has a sandy beach and swimming area as well as picnic pavilions and plenty of tables. Small playground and sand volleyball court. Also fishing and non-motorized boating allowed. Some nice programs in summer and a very nice visitor center. Highly recommend.

May 9 My childhood by Pete Smith

I grew up in Lewistown and in those hot summers this was the treat. Many happy memories cooling off in those icy spring waters

July 17 Great Educational Programs by Mali Campbell

We enjoy Greenwood Furnace State Park - educational programs and hikes. We look forward every December to the Christmas holiday event, horse drawn wagon rides, refreshments and the wonderful holiday ornaments the children get to make. A great place to be!

May 26 One of our favorite parks to camp. by Scott A. Webster

We love taking our son to Greenwood to camp and explore the outdoors. It boasts nice hiking paths and kept grounds. You can learn about the history of the park at one of the many shows @ the nearby mill. 4 out of 5 stars for us.

The glow stick has illuminated the wings going up and down, the bats ears and the trail he left behind. This is about a one second exposure, with a Canon 20D, DSLR, with a 50 mm lens.
