The Loyalsock is stocked with trout each year by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The cold mountain water provides good fishing most of the year. The Loyalsock Trail, running from PA Route 87 near Loyalsockville to US Route 220 north of Laporte is a 59.28 mile trail. Backpackers wishing to leave a car in the park overnight must register at the park office. Other trails of varying length are available within the park.
All trails are steep and rocky.
Hikers are urged to wear sturdy footgear, stay on marked trails, and carry a map. Common game species are squirrel, turkey, bear, deer, and grouse. Picnickers are asked to dispose of hot charcoal in the facilities provided. Horseshoe pits are located near the refreshment stand. Four large picnic pavilions are available for reservation.
