The park is {{convert|6|mi}} east of [[Renovo, Pennsylvania|Renovo]] and 3 miles (5 km) north of [[Hyner, Pennsylvania|Hyner]] on [[Pennsylvania Route 120]] (Route 120 here is also known as [[Bucktail State Park Natural Area]]). Hyner Run State Park is surrounded by [[Sproul State Forest]].
==History== Hyner Run State Park was the site of a [[Civilian Conservation Corps]] camp (Camp S-75-PA). The CCC provided work for the unemployed young men of the [[Great Depression]]. Camp S-75-PA was one of many such camps spread throughout Pennsylvania. The young men of CCC Company 310 worked to clear the regrowing forests of brush to prevent [[Wildfire|forest fires]]. They also constructed roads throughout the forests, built state park facilities, constructed bridges on the state roads, planted trees for reforestation, and cleaned [[stream]]s. Camp S-75-PA was built by the men in the summer, fall and winter of 1933. The camp was in such a remote area that [[electricity]] was not available. Later, a generating plant was installed to provide the camp with electricity and a {{convert|4000|USgal}} [[reservoir]] was built to supply the camp's water needs. Much of the camp was destroyed by the extensive flooding of the [[West Branch Susquehanna River]] in 1936, but some traces remain as a reminder of the days of Camp S-75-PA.<ref name="ccc">{{cite web | url = http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/history/historycccyears.aspx | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20040205111331/http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/history/historycccyears.aspx | url-status = dead | archive-date = February 5, 2004 | title = Pennsylvania State Parks: The CCC Years | access-date = 2006-11-28 | publisher = [[Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources]] }}</ref><ref name="hynerccc">{{ cite web | url = http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/ccc/docs/27.pdf | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110609155323/http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/ccc/docs/27.pdf | url-status = dead | archive-date = June 9, 2011 | title = Civilian Conservation Corps Camp at Hyner Run | access-date = 2006-11-08 | work = PDF | publisher = Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources }}</ref>
