Ravensburg State Park
Nature
Ravensburg State Park is a seventy-eight-acre wooded park in a narrow gorge cut by Rauchtown Run on Nippenose Mountain in Crawford Township, Pennsylvania, almost entirely surrounded by Tiadaghton State Forest. Its name comes from ravens once known to roost on nearby rock ledges, and the area’s forest has changed little over the past century because the rugged terrain discouraged large-scale timbering. Developed in the nineteen thirties by the Civilian Conservation Corps under Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Emergency Conservation Work, the park retains CCC-built pavilions, bridges, trails, waterlines, fountains, latrines, and a small dam. The gorge and Castle Rocks are its most notable natural features, and the park remains a place for quiet recreation, camping, picnicking, hiking, and trout fishing.
