    Leonard Harrison State Park is a 585-acre Pennsylvania state park. It is on the east rim of the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, The Park is known for its views of the Pine Creek Gorge, and offers hiking, fishing and hunting, whitewater boating, and camping.
    The creation of the park was the work of Leonard Harrison, a former lumberman and businessman from Wellsboro who owned a substantial amount of land in the Pine Creek Gorge. He purchased 121 acres of land at the site of the current park in 1906, then developed this land, known as "The Lookout", and invited the public to enjoy the beauty of Pine Creek Gorge. Harrison donated the picnic grounds to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1922.
    After our Pine Creek Trail hike and a fast lunch we drove up to the park so we can take a look at The Gorge from the above.
    The vistas did not disappoint!!!
