About Cowans Gap State Park

Allens Valley cradles this 1,085-acre park, most of which sits within the surrounding Buchanan State Forest. The land spans two townships across county lines, with the bulk of it lying in Todd Township. Pennsylvania Route 75 runs near the park close to Fort Loudon, giving a sense of the wooded, valley setting the park occupies within the larger forest tract.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
