Map of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in Pennsylvania. The park is outlined in green with the surrounding area in a lighter shade of green. Roads are represented by black solid lines and trails by black dashed lines.

Extended Description

The park sits within French Creek State Park to the northeast, Natural Lands Trust to the southeast, Mount Pleasure to the southwest, and State Game Lands in the lower left corner. Hopewell Road enters the map near the lower right corner and travels west to the Visitor Center and parking near Hopewell Lake. Several historic traces leading from the visitor center are represented by red lines and not open to vehicles. Also near the visitor center are Church House (not open to the public), Furnace, and Mule Barn.

There are several trails within the park. The Raccoon Trail and Lenape Trail travel north from Hopewell Road near the top right quadrant. The Raccoon Trail passes the Site of Brison House, and both trails are met near the top right corner of the map by the Mill Creek Trail. The Bethesda Church Trail branches from the Raccoon Trail and heads south to pass the Site of Wood Lot House, Lloyd House (not open to the public), Carriage Shed, and the Bethesda Church and Cemetery before ending in the Natural Lands Trust. The Buzzard Trail also branches off the Raccoon Trail and heads east out of the park.

Back by the Visitor Center, the Horse-Shoe Trail starts from a historic trace near Hopewell Lake. It heads southeast into the park, passing the Nathan Care House and Care Barn, neither of which are open to the public, and the Site of the Harrison Lloyd House. The trail follows the unpaved Harrison Lloyd Road before eventually heading south along Bethesda Road and leaving the park.

State Route 345 curves from the top left corner, almost halfway across the map, and then back off the lower left corner. It travels east of the park and crosses Hopewell Road near the Mule Barn. Text at the top edge indicates that State Route 345 continues “To Birdsboro, State Route 724, & US Route 422,” and, off the bottom edge, “To Warwick, State Route 23, and Morgantown, Interstate 76.”
