Hiking
The over 20 miles of hiking trails of Worlds End State Park are mostly rocky with steep sections that climb the surrounding mountains. Hikers should wear proper footgear and be extra cautious in the winter and spring when trail surfaces can be frozen or icy.

Swimming
A small dam on Loyalsock Creek forms a swimming area that is open from May to September. Swim at your own risk. The mountain stream water is always cold and exhilarating.
