History
No one knows how the area became
known as Sand Bridge.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
purchased the land in 1905 and it became a part of White Deer
State Forest District. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation
Corps built the pavilions and restrooms. In 1978, the Pennsylvania
Bureau of State Parks took over administration of Sand Bridge
State Park. |
