Gifford Pinchot State Park
Pennsylvania governor, friend of conservationist President Theodore Roosevelt and America's first professionally trained forester, it is appropriate that a state park was named for Gifford Pinchot.Pinchot was chief forester of the U. S. Division of Forestry and served from 1898 to 1910. With the help Roosevelt and Pinchot, more than 200 million acres of national forest came under scientific land management. Policies developed by Pinchot still help guide most national and state forests. Gifford Pinchot State Park, a 2,338-acre full service park in northern York County, was dedicated to him in 1961. The park consists of reverting farm fields and wooded hillsides with the 340-acre Pinchot Lake serving as a prime attraction.Pinchot’s home, Grey Towers, is a National Historic Landmark in Milford, on Route 6 near the New Jersey border.
