CHILDS STATE FOREST PARK (camping, fishing, swimming, and picnicking), 3 m., a 52-acre tract presented to the State in 1892 by George W.

At the entrance (L) Dingman's Creek, a swift earth-brown stream, flows over a series of high stone steps to form three wide cascades, each with its frothing pool.
