Encompassing 2,981 acres, the park is centered around the 720-acre Yellow Creek Lake. Hiking and biking trails wind through the woods, providing opportunities for nature enthusiasts to explore. The park's history is rich, as it follows the path of the old Kittanning Path, once used by Native Americans and early settlers. Camping facilities are available for those seeking an extended stay, and the park also hosts educational and recreational programs throughout the year.
