This place is a must visit. A real gem tucked away in scenic paradise.

No cell service πŸ‘ A lot of uphill hiking with well blazed trails πŸ‘ Beautiful views, big rocks, and so many waterfalls πŸ‘ Road 154 is closed between Park office and family camping so I assume that's why the road wasn't busy. πŸ‘ Totally walkable from my site to the river and to the park office only accessible via a closed trail along the river🀘 Said trail will soon be washed out. The bathrooms were clean, shower water is warm enough, and plenty of stars to gaze. My only gripe is the pet area doesn't include the bathrooms. If they'd move one sign from site 19 up to the bathrooms that'd be great. My daughter is terrified that the bears would get us on our bathroom walks. So if we walk to the bathrooms with the dogs she's at ease. We loved it, so serene.

Good hiking trails, great for photography and clean stay camping areas ( you have to have a permit to camp there)

I found World's End to be very accessible right off route 154. I can think of several other state parks that really made me feel like I had been dragged to the end of the earth. Name aside, this park has a literal swimming hole formed by a dam on the Loyalsock Creek. Parking is across the road, where you'll find nice picnic tables and pavilions, and a concession stand and restrooms. The campground has 70 campsites and 19 cabins some with stone porches (not common in most of the parks). My eye was caught by a campsite with it's picnic table moved up in the woods for a better view. (see photo). There's also 3 organizational group campsites in a middle area. You can hike any of the 13 trails any maybe find an ancient fossil along the way. In winter, go cross country skiing or snowmobiling. About half the park is open to hunting in that season. For events at this park visit: events dcnr pa For more information: pa parks and forests (diamond)

Why can you only book cabins for a whole week instead of a weekend? That's kinda dumb. Losing money thers

Elizabeth Smith | Oct 27, 2018
Kyle Fawcett | Oct 27, 2018

Hi Elizabeth, The cabins are in such high demand that they are often booked months in advance. During the Summer season cabins must be rented for at least a week which helps to ensure that families that are vacationing at the park for longer then just the weekend are able to stay there. In the off season from fall through spring the cabins are available to be rented for a minimum of two nights at a time. Regards, Kyle Fawcett Board Member Friends Of Worlds End State Park

Are dogs allowed at the campsites and on most trails? Is this a dog friendly area??

Blair Herring | Oct 27, 2018
Jennifer Schubert | Oct 27, 2018

There is a campsite right at the base of the canyon vista trail head. Dogs are allowed at that campsite but only in designated areas. Dogs are permitted on all of the trails. There are some steep spots on the trails where I would recommend keeping them on a tight leash. But otherwise it's a pretty dog friendly hike!

Carol Bastion | Oct 27, 2018

Are the campsites and cabins free? If not how much is it?

Kathy Colwell | Oct 27, 2018
William Hoffman | Oct 27, 2018

The cabins are for rent. Contact sullivan country, or the state forestry office in Harrisburg. They rent by the week, and are usually booked months in advance. Overnight tent sites are fairly cheap.

Need to switch from tent site to a cabin, how do I do that?

Cindy follmer | Oct 27, 2018
Clinton Schaeffer | Oct 27, 2018

Go to the rangers office if you're there. Otherwise go to the park website, login, confirm there is a cabin available and get it, then cancel the tent site. The cabins are typically booked out months if not close to a year in advance so good luck!

Do all cabins have inside fire places

drew freeborn | Oct 27, 2018
Theresa Bessette | Oct 27, 2018

There are woodstoves in every cabin set inside the fireplaces . The park will supply some wood during the winter months but be prepared to get or bring more .
