Haines Park, Beaver Springs, Snyder County PA

sign, flag, and school bell

Haines Park in Beaver Springs, Snyder County, Pennsylvania is not a destination park. It is tiny and not very interesting, unless you’re really into the history of the region and want to see the old schoolhouse bell. Just down the street is Klinepeter Covered Bridge. It is one of several covered bridges in Snyder County, Pennsylvania. If you are doing a tour of covered bridges, you may want to stop by Haines Park for the schoolhouse bell just because you’ll be passing it anyway.
