Hickory Run State Park
State Park — National Natural Landmark · White Haven, Pennsylvania
Fifteen thousand acres at the southern edge of the Poconos, holding the Boulder Field — a level expanse of red sandstone boulders roughly four hundred feet wide and eighteen hundred long, with no soil and almost no vegetation, left by freeze-thaw action at the edge of the last glaciation and essentially unchanged for twenty thousand years. It is a National Natural Landmark and it looks like nothing else in the eastern United States. The rest of the park is ordinary good Pocono woodland, which makes the contrast sharper.
