Raymond B. Winter State Park sits in a sandstone basin, supporting the spring-fed Halfway Lake and a variety of recreation opportunities. Many shorter, hiking-only trails pass near the lake, or find a view along the Overlook Trail. Located within Bald Eagle State Forest, the park includes the first hand-laid dam constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps, which is on the National Register of Historic Places.
