Experience Stunning Cowan's Gap State Park!

Cowan's Gap State Park has a wonderful lake, perfect for a float on my ‪@OruKayak‬ Inlet! Bonus views at the end from the Big Mountain overlook!
This is my 72nd Pennsylvania State Park that I've been to out of 124. Mad props to @PennsylvaniaDCNR for maintaining these beautiful parks!

I have been going to this park since 1974, beautiful place

[@debbiehills2928]

❤thanks ryan. Love the music. Kayaking. And underwater shots!!! Thanks for the history too!😊❤❤

[@HikerDudeDad]

Thank you for watching, Debbie! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@hmongCAM]

Love hearing about the history of this area. The scenery is quips d peaceful ❤❤❤❤ have a good weekend.

[@MaksimOutdoors]

So tempted to pull the trigger and buy one of those kayaks, great video showing Cowans Gap as well as the history from the area, that overlook at the end looked amazing. Can’t wait for a very riveting episode from Buchanans birthplace state park, some say it’s the best state park within the commonwealth.

[@HikerDudeDad]

😂🤣😂 It's a 6 minute video, lol.

[@MaksimOutdoors]

@@HikerDudeDad 😂😂😂 I’ve been avoiding that one for that reason

[@HikerDudeDad]

@@MaksimOutdoors I left not knowing if I'd have enough footage

[@ervinslens]

Spectacular scenery my friend, this whole area looks absolutely brilliant!

[@HikerDudeDad]

It was an absolute gem tucked into Allen's Valley. So beautiful.

[@darcyshikingdiaries]

The Kayak season has arrived!!

[@HikerDudeDad]

This video was like a month ago, and we had no good days since! My local hiker guys and I have an expedition planned for Tuesday (kayaking and hiking) that should be AMAZING!!!

[@darcyshikingdiaries]

@@HikerDudeDad This Monday shows rain all day where I live, great.... Just means the trails are going to be muddy and buggy come Tuesday but we shall see?!

[@CraigKoppel]

I don’t think I ever heard of this state park before. It looks nice for kayaking. I haven’t taken mine out this year. Interesting history on the area too. 👍25

I spent two nights tent camping at Cowan's Gap last Spring. Hiked part of the Tuscarora Trail and went to Orbisonia to ride the East Broad Top. Nice quiet campground and great trail. Nice video.

[@HikerDudeDad]

That sounds like a wonderful trip! I originally was going to make this an overnighter here and go to a few more parks. Kicking myself for not doing that.

[@SimplyExploVenturing]

I can't wait to do another kayak trip

[@HikerDudeDad]

I'm ready!

[@kevind5396]

Beautiful as always. Part of me has been expecting to see you with a new kayak, especially since Shanks Mare closed up. Keep up the great work bud.

[@HikerDudeDad]

Definitely going to ride the Oru 'til it dies! Thanks for watching, Kevin

[@3degreeimages]

Cool kayak video. Don't see a lot of those on my feed. Thanks for sharing!

[@HikerDudeDad]

Many more to come. Thanks for watching!

[@TokyoNightGirlLofi]

💕Wow🧡🧡🧡🧡💛🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@travelingRonman]

Another beautiful state park. Now that I've been kayaking, i want to try it at some state parks. Are there kayaks available for rent there or do you have to bring your own?

[@HikerDudeDad]

Some of the bigger ones definitely have rentals, Ron. DCNR site has all the info 👍

[@dayhikedave]

Should have given me a shout. My neck of the woods. Although I don't have a kayak. Pretty cool. 👍🙂🛶

[@HikerDudeDad]

I did see Fannett-Metal and Fort Loudon as I drove around. I thought about you!
