Sand Bridge State Park

A stream flows over a small, manmade waterfall, a habitat improvement project, at Sand Bridge.

Rapid Run's lovely murmur and the sounds of birds pervade this lovely picnic spot. The three rustic picnic pavilions hug the side of Seven Notch Mountain, conveniently at the side of PA 192.
