1,862-acre state park. Contained entirely within the park boundaries is Mt. Bleak-Skye Farm, a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The buildings, which are scattered around the park, include Wayside Cottage (c. 1780), Timberlake farmstead (c. 1860), Meeting House (c. 1845) and the Mount Bleak mansion itself (c.1843).

Once every month an astronomy club gathers here for a star party.
