The lookout area is bordered by a large stone wall that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.

After the new access road opened, the first Flaming Fall Foliage Festival was held at the park.

Visitors to Hyner View State Park can see the West Branch Susquehanna River for many miles both up and downstream.

The monument consists of a large monolith with a plaque reading "1915 - 1965 Dedicated to the Forest Fire Wardens of Pennsylvania in recognition of their faithful service to the Commonwealth during the past fifty years".

On each of the two long sides of the keystone are ten stones, one for each of the twenty state forests in Pennsylvania.
