About Laurel Summit State Park
Laurel Mountain holds this six-acre picnic ground at 2,739 feet above sea level, where a scenic overlook takes in Linn Run below. Because of its height, the site runs noticeably cooler than the towns in the surrounding valleys. The land is set within Cook Township, and the park's small size makes the summit view its central offering.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
