Running a state park is no easy feat, especially when it sits on thousands of acres of land and is used by thousands of visitors each season.

French Creek State Park is no stranger to these challenges. The park sits on 7,773 scenic acres of land and is used by an average of 835,588 visitors per year.

In a report released in January, the Pennsylvania Parks and Forests Foundation detailed the maintenance needs in state parks and forests.
