I'm going to be camping just outside of Hickory Run State Park in Pennsylvania this weekend. I'm looking for some bouldering and or top roping opportunities around the area. Does anyone know this area and have any suggestions?

Francis E. Walter Dam has some decent bouldering near the water, and I've heard there's some real good stuff in the woods. There's also supposed to be some bolted lines along the water. I'm sure someone else on here will chime in with some better beta. One plus is that you'll be near water.... to cool down!

nice, thats about 5 minutes from where i'm staying. I've never been there before, what is the easiest approach and where are the boulders?
