Caledonia State Park is located along US 30 in Pennsylvania between Chambersburg and Gettysburg. The 1,125-acre park is open every day of the year from sunrise to sunset.
About a year ago, the park installed two ClipperCreek electric vehicle charging stations. The 50 Amp Level 2 stations are available to the public and are located in parking lot #2 near the picnic area restrooms.
Hiking, Camping and Other Activities
Caledonia State Park has camping, swimming and picnic tables. The famous Appalachian Trail traverses the park and you may even see people hiking through with backpacks on their journey from Georgia to Maine. There are 10 miles of hiking trails within the 1,125-acre park for folks who may not be so adventurous.
The park is also home of the Thaddeus Stevens Blacksmith Shop. The shop and Iron Furnace were part of the Caledonia Iron Works which operated between 1837 and 1895.
The EV charging stations in Caledonia State Park are part of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources initiative to install charging equipment at more than 40 state parks and forests in the state to help improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gases.
Similar EV charging programs are underway at state parks in West Virginia and Delaware.
