RAYMOND B. WINTER STATE PARK

Raymond B. Winter State Park covers 695 acres of the Ridge and Valley Province in northern central Pennsylvania's Union County. The park is situated within Bald Eagle State Forest and lies in a shallow basin surrounded by rocky ridges covered with an oak and pine forest. Halfway Lake is a prominent feature of the park; it is filled by spring-fed mountain streams and contained by a hand-laid, native sandstone dam which has the distinction of being the first cement and stone dam ever built by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
