Hills Creek State Park
TIOGA COUNTY
HILLS CREEK
The focal point of the park is a 137-acre lake
developed by impounding Hills Creek. The earth
dam, built by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
is 34 feet high and 422 feet long. The basin of Hills
Creek Lake is long and narrow ending in an irregular
triangle at the north end. The elevation is 1,486
feet and the nearby mountains rise to an elevation
of 2,200 feet. The temperatures and chemical
characterizations of the lake support a good warmwater fishery.
