About Laurel Mountain State Park

A 493-acre stretch of Laurel Mountain spans two counties, crossing from Ligonier Township into Jenner Township, Somerset County. This span of ridge land forms the core of the park, protecting acreage that straddles a municipal and county line rather than sitting within a single jurisdiction.

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