It encompasses a range of landscapes around its central feature, Keystone Lake, which covers approximately 78 acres. This park is steeped in history, having been established during the mid-20th century to provide outdoor recreational opportunities to the rapidly industrializing region. Today it attracts visitors with its well-maintained trails, diverse ecosystems, and vibrant fall foliage that transforms the park into a destination for photographers and nature lovers. Anglers flock to the lake for bass, catfish, and trout, and the mix of forest and grassland provides a habitat for an array of wildlife including deer, turkeys, and a variety of bird species. This combination of activities and ecological significance makes Keystone State Park an appealing destination for families, hikers, anglers, and anyone who appreciates natural settings.
