Bilger's Rocks: Guided Outings

Bilger's Rocks: Destination Info

Find yourself in awe of the exposed sandstone and forested paths of Bilger's rocks. Explore all day as you hike along 300 million year old rock beds, featuring passageways and outcroppings perfect for climbing. The park offers tours, special events, campgrounds and more.

During our guided outings, volunteers from Bilger's Rocks will discuss the "stories in the stone", the natural wonder of the Homewood stone formation that dates back 300 million years. Learn about Native Americans who made their homes and trails in the area, plant and animal life that exists in this unique environment, and the park's designation as a Wild Plant Sanctuary by Pennsylvania DCNR.
