Rocky Ridge County Park
Rocky Ridge Park spans 750 acres, with 90% of its area covered by a mature oak forest. Established in 1968 as the first county park, it rests on a rocky hilltop near Hellam, a location settled early on by the county’s pioneers. The park’s main highlights include its picnic pavilions, a network of multi-use trails, and breathtaking views of the Susquehanna Valley, offering a perfect blend of nature and recreation.
