R. B. Winter State Park

It is in the ridge and valley region of Pennsylvania and is surrounded by Bald Eagle State Forest.

[1] The first settlers in the area found a very dense forest that was according to Conrad Weiser, "so thick that for a mile at a time we could not find the place the size of a hand, where the sun could penetrate, even in the clearest day..." Some examples of this dense forest still stand today at R. B.

Vernal pools fill each spring to provide water for fairy shrimp, caddis-flies, spotted salamanders, and wood frogs.

[5] Halfway Lake is a cold water fishery that is stocked with brook, brown and rainbow trout.

The cottages have electric lights and a small baseboard heater as well as wooden floors, windows, skylights, porches, a picnic table and fire ring.

It is two stories with a furnished living area, kitchen, one-and-a-half baths, four bedrooms and two porches.

The park is also a trailhead for the hiking, mountain biking and snow mobile trails in Bald Eagle State Forest.

Hunters are expected to follow the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

The common game species are ruffed grouse, eastern gray squirrel, wild turkey, American black bear, white-tailed deer, and woodcocks.
