“We
wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way,
begin
no day where we have ended another day,
and
no sunrise finds us
where
sunset has left us.”
~ Khalil Gibran
~ 1883-1931
Sunset
blazes across Hopewell Lake on a glorious, golden summer evening at French Creek State
Park, Elverson, Pennsylvania.
The
7,526 acre park straddles northern Chester County and southern Berks County
along French Creek and is located in the Hopewell Big Woods.
Set
amidst the old, quaint and picturesque farmland of southeast Pennsylvania,
French Creek State Park offers two lakes – Hopewell and Scotts Run – extensive forests
and almost 40 miles of hiking trails. Adjacent to the park lies Hopewell
Furnace National Historic Site that features a cold-blast furnace restored to
its 1830s appearance.
French
Creek State Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of State Parks as one of “25 Must-See
Pennsylvania State Parks.”
