Stay minutes from Worlds End

Worlds End State Park sits in a narrow S-shaped valley of Loyalsock Creek, just south of Forksville in Sullivan County. The Boulders Lodge is a few minutes up the road in Hillsgrove, on the same creek, so you can spend the day in the park and be back at the fire pit by dinner.

The park’s own cabins and campground book up early in summer and fall. The lodge sleeps 10, which suits families and groups who want the park close by with more room to spread out.
