Excellent place to experience a truly dark sky. In the summer months head over to Lyman Run lake to see the Milky way galaxy with the naked eye. This is also a great place to go camping for the night or week.

Gorgeous view up/down in the mountain. Beautiful forest with many trails on for hiking / ATV / 4X4. Very quiet and Zen in September great place for hiking / family trip etc.

We took a drive to Lyman run for the first time. Absolutely beautiful. It was towards the evening and the scenery was breathtaking. We will definitely come back to kayak.

I'm thinking of going on a camping trip between March 9th - 11th. Am I able to camp out there during this season? If not, is there any spots nearby where I can do so?

I'm camping there Sunday 6/20/19. I was lucky and got the last reservation the day before. Due to it's close proximity to Cherry Springs state park known for it's great stargazing viewing it's hard to get a space when the weather is predicted to be clear as it is for tonight.

You can rent kayaks and canoes overnight so I believe so, just have to have a light on it.

When do trails close for the year

Daniel Neff | Dec 29, 2019
Minelle Snay | Dec 30, 2019

Some of the trails at Lyman Run are part of the Susquehanna Trail System, or STS. These trails are for hiking and are open year round. They are maintained by a private club. Other trails are ATV trails. These are maintained by the State. According to the DCNR website, ATVs may be driven on trails or township roads within the park during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. I'm guessing they mean until Labor Day, which is when they close the public beach and concessions.

Are the any playgrounds in the park for kids under 10?

brian johnson | Dec 29, 2019

Does it have in and out privileges? Meaning can i leave in my car late at night to cherry springs state park and then return to my campsite? I wont be locked out or something like that. (Never been camping before)

A S | Dec 29, 2018
Elizabeth Wisker | Dec 30, 2018

Yep! On our first visit we got so confused we drove and stopped at Lyman thinking it was Cherry Springs. I'm not sure about the "main" road that comes from Galeton, but there is another, unpaved, road that will take you up to route 6 and has never been blocked in my 5 visits here. Basically, if you drive out with the reservoir to your LEFT you end up on that road. I dont see why it would be different in winter unless it is closed for snow.

Looking to camp at Lyman Run State Park. What are the shower/restroom facilities like? How many are there? Are they modern?

How far is this from Cherry Springs State Park ? Judy

Judy K | Dec 29, 2017
Bryan Lazzaro | Dec 30, 2017

If you're debating whether you should stay at Cherry Spring or stay at Lyman and driver over, it's definitely worth it to stay at Lyman and driver over. It's about a 15 minute drive, give or take a few minutes depending on how you drive. Very easy to pop over for stargazing and then drive back to your campsite
