Picnicking: Sand Bridge is a convenient picnic spot with picnic tables, charcoal grills, water and rustic restrooms. Three picnic pavilions are free on a first-come, first-served basis. Fishing: Rapid Run is an excellent cold-water fishery. It is stocked annually with brook and brown trout.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania purchased the land in 1905 and it became a part of White Deer State Forest District. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built the pavilions and restrooms. In 1978, the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks took over administration of Sand Bridge State Park.
