About Patterson State Park

Two rustic roadside pavilions sit on this 19-acre tract along Pennsylvania Route 44, near Sweden Valley in Summit Township. The land has been set aside as a state park since 1925, though its footprint is small compared to many other Pennsylvania preserves. Visitors deciding whether to stop should note there is little beyond the pavilions themselves noted for this site.

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