Gifford Pinchot State Park Highlighted in August Vance Report

HARRISBURG – Gifford Pinchot State Park in Warrington Township, York County, is spotlighted in the August edition of the Vance Report.

Park Manager Bill Rosevear leads the water tour of the 2,338-acre park that offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities year round.

"With gasoline prices still very high, I would encourage everyone to take the short drive to Pinchot State Park," Sen. Pat Vance (R-Cumberland/York) said. "It is hard to believe a getaway of this quality offering swimming, boating, fishing, disc golf and picnicking is so close. In addition, the park features pontoon boat rides free of charge for those who make advanced reservations. For those desiring to stay overnight, the park has cottages and yurts, in addition to camping locations."

Vance's show airs on Blue Ridge Communications at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays on Channel 8. Comcast Cable that serves the Shippensburg area will air the program at 4 p.m. on Thursdays on Channel 21. Comcast Cable that serves the Carlisle area will air the show at the same time but on Channel 11. York Community Access shows the program at 9 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month on Channel 16. Finally, Comcast Cable in the Greater Harrisburg area will air the program on Channel 20 with no set time schedule.

Vance's district includes all of Cumberland County and Carroll, Fairview, Franklin, Monaghan, Warrington and Washington townships and Dillsburg, Franklintown and Wellsville boroughs in York County.
