Hickory Run State Park is located in Kidder and Penn Forest townships, Carbon County, in the western foothills of the Pocono Mountains. The park is very large, measuring 15,500 acres. While at the park learn about lumbering history, observe wildlife or see Hawk Falls. The trails and roads will lead visitors through areas rich in historic and scenic interest. This is especially true from mid-June until mid-July when the mountain laurel and rhododendron are in bloom and again in mid-October at the height of the fall foliage. The Boulder Field is a true relic of the past. This area is a National Natural Landmark and State Park Natural Area. It has remained relatively unchanged for more than 20,000 years. The Boulder Field appears striking because of its flatness and absence of vegetation over the large area of 400 feet by 1,800 feet. Some of the boulders measure as much as 26 feet long.

• A large, guarded, sand beach is the focal point of the Sand Springs Day Use Area.
• An elaborate 40-mile trail system is a prime attraction of the park.
• Winter activities include, Snowmobiling, Cross-country Skiing, Ice Skating, Sledding and Tobogganing.
