Harvest Moon Sunset Hike

Join us for the Harvest Moon Sunset Hike at Hillman State Park, a sprawling 3,600-acre natural haven nestled in Hanover Township, just 25 miles west of Pittsburgh. Fondly known among mountain biking enthusiasts as “Bavington.”

Founded in the late 1960s, Hillman State Park has been entrusted to the Pennsylvania Game Commission for hunting purposes since the early 1980s. A portion of the park has been designated as Pennsylvania State Game Lands 117, preserving the area’s diverse wildlife.

Nature enthusiasts of all kinds, including mountain bikers, hikers, trail runners, cross-country skiers, and equestrians, congregate at Bavington to recreate through its extensive network of nearly 30 miles of trails. These trails are maintained year-round by dedicated Trail Pittsburgh stewards and volunteers.

As you partake in this  journey through Hillman State Park’s woodlands and meadows, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the ethereal beauty of the sun as it graces the horizon during the golden hour of sunset.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the natural world, relish the golden hour’s beauty, and witness the magic of the Harvest Moon at Hillman State Park. Join us for an evening of exploration, connection, and the wonder of the great outdoors.
