This railroad hauled logs off the mountains to a sawmill located at Humbert near Confluence, Pennsylvania. A beautiful stand of virgin timber may be seen along the Hemlock Trail. In the summer, a park naturalist offers campfire programs and guided walks. The trail system is open daily for registered snowmobiles after the end of antlerless deer season in late December. Trail maps are available at the Park Office.
Ice skating is enjoyed by many on a maintained area of Laurel Hill Lake.
The rest of the lake is open to ice fishing and ice boating. Ice boats must display a current State Park launching permit. In the past an old country road passed through the park area. Along this road, at what is now Group Camp No. 8, stood an inn for the wayfarer. Below the inn stood a grist mill for grinding the local wheat and rye.
