Loved the ambience in the park. If you are looking for peaceful get away for the weekend, this is the place to go. We were a group of 4 & luckily got to book a cabin just 2 days before memorial weekend. It was a rustic cabin though. There was microwave oven, fridge, induction stove, wood log fire area inside, 2 bunk beds, a table for 4 . Fire pit & grill outside . We stayed in cabin #8, There was no wash basin/sink & no pans at all which was the main problem. We carried food , blankets , sheets , water , coal , wood & other basic needs from home. Shower area is good & we used the restrooms available in it. It is maintained well. There was a creek just behind our cabin & the view is perfect & very calming. Easy access to hike in the trails by the creek, fishing. Park office is just 2 mins drive from the cabin. Adam falls trail hike & Flat bed rock trail hike are a mile away. The adam falls hike is rocky & you would need hiking shoes. Its about 40-45 mins hike. Flat bed rock trail is flat & you would reach point where there is sliding rock & you can play in the water if temperatures is good. There are lot of picnic spots through the park & great for hanging out with friends & family. Note - there is no phone signals in the area & plan ahead. Must recommend place for people looking for calming get away with no phone signals & switch off life from gadgets. Beautiful place for sure

Linn Run State Park Cabins We stayed in cabin number 6 which is for the maximum of 2 people. The cabin is small and quaint, with a wood burning fireplace, electric heater, electric stove, microwave, and refrigerator. The beds are twin sized with a mattress each. You will need to supply your own bedding. Water is available a short distance away, as well as pit toilets. In the shower house which is centrally located there are flush toilets and two showers in each the men's and the womens. Each of the 10 cabins is nestled a fair distance from each other which gives you some sense of serenity. There is a trickling Brook which winds its way through the area of the cabins. When we visited in September it was still flowing. I don't know if it flows year round. Bugs were at a minimal, as well we did not see a lot of wildlife, which was surprising. I am amazed at places so green and lush. In California we travel great distances to find gems like this, yet this looks like everyone's backyard in Pennsylvania. We hiked Grove Run Trail, it too about 3 hours. The trail is well delineated, with orange bands on the trees. There were three places we had to hop over logs along the trail as well as two places we had to scramble under downed trees. I would consider it an easy to moderate hike. At the trailhead is a great spring which locals say flows year round.

I absolutely loved this park growing up. But today, while having a picnic with my family we were cut short. The park had the upper parking lot closed off today, so we stayed at Adam's, except the lot was full also....there were probably 20 cars parked along the road. Only one was PARTIALLY blocking the gate. As we were eating we noticed a DCNR ranger pull up. He starts writing tickets for every car parked along the road. We thought maybe he was only writing for the car by the gate, but he wasn't. We got up and left before he got to ours. It's such a shame that it came to this today. No one was trying to be disrespectful. They were all there to have a nice day and now they will come back to parking tickets... The cars were not blocking traffic and they were not making ruts. How do you expect people to visit the park with inadequate parking?! Then proceed to ticket people for parking along the road... we unfortunately wont be back. We dont live close, and I cant be driving that far to visit a park and not know if there is going to be parking. What a waste of a day.

Linn Run State Park is a small park carved out of a dark woods section along the Linn Run creek. It's mostly a day use picnic park. There are 2 main picnic areas, Adam Falls and Grove Run, with a pavilion at Adam Falls. While there are 6 miles of trails in Lin Run, that's misleading as the trails meet up with many other trails in the Laurel Mountains. Trout fishing is good in the Linn Run and hunting is allowed in parts of the park and nearby forest in hunting season. For a longer stay, there's 9 rather private rustic cabins above the Linn Run. Snowmobiling and horseback riding are allowed in certain parts of the park. For events at this park visit: events dcnr pa For more information: pa parks and forests (diamond)

Really pretty park. We didn't get to do many trails due to time limitations. Overall they ones we did had bathroom facilities and were well marked. This may be more difficult if you went in the summer as there is a lot of growth. Scenes are beautiful and worth taking your time. We visited in the spring and took our dog and toddler. Ticks were already active so ensure to spray up and do tick checks. Looking forward to going back to explore more trails.
