	Pennsylvania State Parks - Ricketts Glen - PA DCNR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ricketts Glen State Park is one of the most scenic areas in Pennsylvania.
		This large park is comprised of 13,050 acres in Luzerne, Sullivan and Columbia counties.
		Although the area was approved as a national park site in the 1930s, World War II brought an end to this plan for development and in 1942 the heirs sold 1,261 acres, the Falls and Glens area, to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for a state park.
