About this park
Tucked into the side of Conococheague Mountain, Big Spring State Park in Perry County is a quaint picnic and hiking spot maintained by Tuscarora State Forest. A short loop trail leads to a partially completed railroad tunnel with historic information at the trailhead, and the park gives access to the Iron Horse Trail for day and overnight hiking. It takes its name from nearby Big Spring, whose waters form Shermans Creek.
