A loop through Raccoon Creek State Park’s wildflower-rich valleys, where over 700 plant species thrive across oak-hickory forest, pine plantations, and riparian corridors.

The route passes through the park’s renowned Wildflower Reserve, considered one of the most diverse botanical areas in western Pennsylvania.
