History

Hyner Run State Park was the site of a Civilian Conservation Corps camp (Camp S-75-PA). The CCC provided work for the unemployed young men of the Great Depression. Camp S-75-PA was one of many such camps spread throughout Pennsylvania. The young men of CCC Company 310 worked to clear the regrowing forests of brush to prevent forest fires. They also constructed roads throughout the forests, built state park facilities, constructed bridges on the state roads, planted trees for reforestation, and cleaned streams. Camp S-75-PA was built by the men in the summer, fall and winter of 1933. The camp was in such a remote area that electricity was not available. A generating plant was installed to provide the camp with electricity and a convert|4000|USgal|0 reservoir was built to supply the camp's water needs. Much of the camp was destroyed by the extensive flooding of the West Branch Susquehanna River in 1936, but some traces remain as a reminder of the days of Camp S-75-PA.cite web

Recreation

Fishing and hunting

Hyner Run is stocked annually by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission with brook and brown trout. The upper parts of Hyner Run and other small streams have a population of native brook trout. Fly fishing is possible in the Right Branch of Young Womans Creek.

Hunting and trapping are permitted on about convert|20|acre|km2|2 of Hyner Run State Park. Hunters are expected to follow the rules and regulations of the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The common game species are ruffed grouse, squirrels, turkey, white-tailed deer, and black bears. Common fur bearers are bobcat, raccoon, red and gray fox, and coyote. The hunting of groundhogs is not permitted at the park. Many more acres of forested woodlands are available for hunting and trapping on the grounds of the adjacent Sproul State Forest.

Camping

There is one cabin available for rent year round. It sleeps eight people with three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living room and sun porch. Kitchenware and utensils are provided. Renters need to bring their own linens.

The camping area is rustic. The 30 sites each have a level pad, fire ring and picnic table. Water and non-flush toilets with sinks are located in the camping area. There is also a sanitary dump station at the campground.

wimming, hiking and picnicking

A large swimming pool is open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend. The park serves as a trailhead for the Donut Hole Trail system in Sproul State Forest. There are 150 picnic tables in the seven acre picnic area with two pavilions.
