Furnace Run Park
Located at the base of South Mountain, Furnace Run Park offers a unique natural setting with deep historical and geological roots. Once home to active sand quarries, the 226-acre park was purchased by Southampton Township, Franklin County in 2019 and now serves as a preserved nature destination.
The landscape—shaped by decades of quarry activity up until 2017—features striking geologic formations and provides seamless access to the Michaux State Forest and nearby Appalachian Trail, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and outdoor recreation.
