Stone Valley Recreation Area

Stone Valley Recreation Area is an outdoor recreational and educational facility operated by The Pennsylvania State University. The convert|700|acre|km2|sing=on property is located near the village of Pine Grove Mills, Pennsylvania along Shaver's Creek. Hiking and fishing are among the activities available to visitors.

The Pennsylvania State University contracted with the federal government in 1940 to construct roads and buildings on the land to help the school's educational program. In 1954 the land was given fully to the university. A dam was finished in 1960 to give easy access to the area, and Stone Valley Recreation Area was created.
