About Chester State Park
523 acres of land make up this park, developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps on ground purchased in the same year the park was established. The acreage covers just over two square kilometers, shaped by CCC labor during that era of public works construction. The park's layout and features trace directly back to this depression-era development effort.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
