  • Colton Point State Park is a 368-acre (149 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is on the west side of the Pine Creek Gorge, also known as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania, which is 800 feet (240 m) deep and nearly 4,000 feet (1,200 m) across at this location. The park extends from the creek in the bottom of the gorge up to the rim and across part of the plateau to the west. Colton Point State Park is known for its views of the Pine Creek Gorge, and offers opportunities for picnicking, hiking, fishing and hunting, whitewater boating, and camping. Colton Point is surrounded by Tioga State Forest and its sister park, Leonard Harrison State Park, on the east rim. The park is on a state forest road in Shippen Township 5 miles (8 km) south of U.S. Route 6. Pine Creek flows through the park and has carved the gorge through five major rock formations from the Devonian and Carboniferous periods. Native Americans once used the Pine Creek Path along the creek. The path was later used by lumbermen, and then became the course of a railroad from 1883 to 1988. Since 1996, the 62-mile (100 km) Pine Creek Rail Trail has followed the creek through the gorge. The Pine Creek Gorge was named a National Natural Landmark in 1968 and is also protected as a Pennsylvania State Natural Area and Important Bird Area, while Pine Creek is a Pennsylvania Scenic and Wild River. The gorge is home to many species of plants and animals, some of which have been reintroduced to the area. The park is named for Henry Colton, a Williamsport lumberman who cut timber there starting in 1879. Although the Pine Creek Gorge was clearcut in the 19th and early 20th centuries, it is now covered by second-growth forest, thanks in part to the conservation efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The CCC built the facilities at Colton Point before and shortly after the park's 1936 opening. Most of the CCC-built facilities remain in use, and have led to the park's listing as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. Since a successful publicity campaign in 1936, the park and gorge have been a popular tourist destination, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Colton Point State Park was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Bureau of Parks for its "25 Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks" list, which praised its "spectacular vistas and a fabulous view of Pine Creek Gorge".

  • 科尔顿点州立公园(英語:Colton Point State Park)是位于美国宾夕法尼亚州泰奥加县的一个宾夕法尼亚州州立公园,总面积达368英亩(约1.49平方千米),它地处宾夕法尼亚大峡谷的西部,该峡谷深约240米,延伸约1200米。公园从峡谷底部的小溪旁向西建设,科尔顿州州立公园因宾夕法尼亚大峡谷的景色而出名,野餐、徒步旅行、钓鱼、打猎、划船和露营是该公园的常见娱乐项目。公园被和它的姐妹公园——伦纳德哈里森州立公园环绕,公园向北5英里(8公里)是6号美国国道。 在泥盆纪和石炭纪时期,一条溪流流经此公园,并因此造就了宾夕法尼亚大峡谷的五个主要岩层。美国原住民曾沿着溪流建设道路,1883年,当地政府开始在该道路上修建铁路,1996年,62英里(约100千米)长的铁路成功穿越峡谷。1968年,宾夕法尼亚大峡谷称为美国国家自然地标之一并作为宾夕法尼亚州自然保护区和鸟类保护区受到保护,在这里生长着多种濒危动植物,并接受来自其他地区的濒临灭绝的生物种类。 科尔顿点州立公园为纪念威廉斯波特人亨利·科尔顿而建,亨利·科尔顿从1879年开始便在这里做伐木工。宾夕法尼亚大峡谷在19世纪末20世纪初已经被砍伐一空,但现如今该地又重新被森林覆盖,20世纪30年代美国平民保育团的保护工作起了很大作用,该组织在公园开放之前和开放后的一段时间也建造了很多设施,其中大多数设施至今仍在使用,这也是该公园被收入美国国家史迹名录的重要原因之一。自1936年公园开放开始,公园和峡谷便成为了热门的旅游胜地,每年吸引成百上千的游客前来参观。科尔顿点州立公园也被宾夕法尼亚自然资源保护部选为“25个必看的宾夕法尼亚公园之一”,其宽阔的视野和壮观的宾夕法尼亚大峡谷的景色受到了宾夕法尼亚自然资源保护部的高度肯定。 (zh)
