    Cow Run Shelter is one of two designated overnight areas along the Gerard Hiking Trail. It features tent sites and 6 Adirondack-style shelters, each equipped with a fireplace. The site includes seasonal water access and restrooms, and camping is only permitted in designated areas. Nestled deep in Oil Creek State Park, it’s a quiet, forested spot perfect for resting after a long day’s hike. Reservations are required in advance—check the website for details and booking instructions: elibrary.dcnr.pa.gov/GetDocument?docId=1743343&DocName=OICR_ReservationInstructions.pdf
