The 'Friends Group' for the Shikellamy State Park was formed in the summer of 2007 by local members of your community who cherish the park as a genuine treasure. They came together around the common ideas of sponsoring community events that would bring family, friends, neighbors, and yes, even strangers, together to enjoy experiences such as:

• Outdoor activity and entertainment events at both the Marina and Shikellamy Overlook

• Providing volunteer services to enhance and maintain the quality of the park.

• Great food, conversation & music during a public “Sunday Brunch in the Park”

• Sounds & stars at evening music concerts at the Shikellamy Overlook

• Hands on boating & fishing clinics

• Community art & performance festivals

• Raise funds for special projects to enhance and improve the park

• Attract new visitors & volunteers to the park

•Create public awareness about the parks value

OUR MISSION
Enhance public awareness, use & care of Shikellamy State Park as a genuine community treasure!
