We woke up Monday to a very good weather report for the week so the wife and I decided to take one last camping trip for the season. We stayed at Ole Bull earlier in the year and decided to go back there. One of the things that's nice about Ole Bull is there is no cell service...none. That's big with me....not so much with my wife. Of course, due to school being in session the campground was sparsely filled with some archery hunters and a few fishermen. All the camper's were very friendly. The temperature dipped low enough to have ice on our water bucket near the fire ring one morning, however around 9:30 am it was warming up nicely. We did some hiking, picnicking, went up to Cherry Springs where the Dark Sky program is, and watched an eagle fish daily in the stream. One really nice thing about Ole Bull is the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. That's a pretty big deal with my wife. The park staff really do an outstanding job maintaining the park and it's facilities.We hated to head home on Friday, but all good things have to come to an end. If you get the chance give Ole Bull State Park a try. It's off the beaten path, but well worth it.

We visited this Dark Sky park during the weekend before the new moon in July, and were treated to the rare and stunning view of a sky simply full of stars. The kids with us loved watching the stars pop out as the sky darkened, and they were able to see the Milky Way clearly. We stayed on the short term public viewing side of the park, and it was very, very busy. While we stayed near our car because of the kids, it would have been a much more peaceful experience to go up to the viewing area for a consistent experience of the dark sky without cars and trucks constantly coming and going.

If you enjoy riding your ATV/UTV then Lyman Run has some of the best trails in the Susquehannock State Forest, you can ride right into the State Park at Lyman Run and park at the dam at the lake where you can enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing and kayaking. The facilities are top notch and the staff are friendly and helpful.

The visitor center is very kid friendly with some interactive activities and cool tunnel to crawl in. Also some informational stuff for kids involving animals and history of Sinnemahoning. Trails are stoned and nice to walk on, lots of nice overlooks and places to pull off to if you're in a car. Fishing is good and really nice picnic areas as well as a small park for kids. Passed a campground as well on the drive through the park road.
