Hillman State Park is a 3,654-acre (1,479 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Hanover Township, Washington County in the United States.[4] It is about 25 miles (40 km) west of Pittsburgh. The park opened in the late 1960s and has been managed for hunting by the Pennsylvania Game Commission since the early 1980s.[3] The park also has hiking, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, a radio-controlled aircraft field, and mountain bike trails that are open to the public.[5][6] The largely undeveloped park is north of U.S. Route 22 and east of Pennsylvania Route 18 in northern Washington County near the village of Bavington and the borough of Burgettstown.[3] Part of the park has been designated as Pennsylvania State Game Lands 117.[7]
Hillman State Park lies within the Appalachian mixed mesophytic forests ecoregion.[8] The park is a wild area that connects the Kings Creek and Raccoon Creek watersheds within the greater Raccoon Creek Valley Natural Area.[6]
