  • Cherry Springs State Park is an 82-acre (33 ha) Pennsylvania state park in Potter County, Pennsylvania, United States. The park was created from land within the Susquehannock State Forest, and is on Pennsylvania Route 44 in West Branch Township. Cherry Springs, named for a large stand of Black Cherry trees in the park, is atop the dissected Allegheny Plateau at an elevation of 2,300 feet (701 m). It is popular with astronomers and stargazers for having "some of the darkest night skies on the east coast" of the United States, and was chosen by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and its Bureau of Parks as one of "25 Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks". The earliest recorded inhabitants of the area were the Susquehannocks, followed by the Seneca nation, who hunted there. The first settlement within the park was a log tavern built in 1818 along a trail; the trail became a turnpike by 1834 and a hotel replaced the tavern in 1874, then burned in 1897. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the old-growth forests were clearcut; the state forest was established in 1901 and contains second growth woodlands. "Cherry Springs Scenic Drive" was established in 1922, and the Civilian Conservation Corps built much of Cherry Springs State Park during the Great Depression, including a picnic pavilion listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). An annual "Woodsmen's Show" has been held in the park each August since 1952. Cherry Springs State Park was named Pennsylvania's first dark sky park by the DCNR in 2000. The adjoining Cherry Springs Airport, built in 1935, was closed and its land was added to the park in 2006, to expand its stargazing area. On June 11, 2007, the International Dark-Sky Association named it the second "International Dark Sky Park"; under optimum conditions the Milky Way casts a discernible shadow. Cherry Springs has received national press coverage and hosts two star parties a year, which attract hundreds of astronomers. There are regular stargazing and educational programs for the public at the park, and the Woodsmen's Show attracts thousands each summer. Cherry Springs also offers rustic camping, picnic facilities, and trails for mountain biking, hiking, and snowmobiling. The surrounding state forest and park are home to a variety of flora and fauna.

  • 樱桃泉州立公园（英語：Cherry Springs State Park）位于美国宾夕法尼亚州波特县，占地82英亩(33公顷)。 该公园建在西布兰奇镇的宾夕法尼亚44号公路上，萨斯奎汉诺克州立森林内。樱桃泉因园内有大片黑樱桃树而得名，位于切割高原阿勒格尼高原，海拔2300英尺（701米）。樱桃泉公园因其拥有“美国东海岸最暗夜空”之称而受到天文学家和天文爱好者的欢迎，并被宾夕法尼亚自然资源保护部（DCNR）及当地园林局选为“宾夕法尼亚州立公园25个必看景点”之一。 这里最早记载的居民是萨斯奎汉诺克人，之后以打猎为生的塞内卡民族来到这里。1818年，一条小路旁建起了一个酒馆，这是公园里第一个有人落脚的地方；这条小路到1834年变成了收费高速公路，酒馆在1874年改成了酒店，而在1897年毁于一场大火。到了19世纪末20世纪初，这里的原始森林被砍伐殆尽；1901年州立森林成立，为次生林地。1922年，“樱桃泉景观公路”建成，民间资源保护队在大萧条时期修建了一部分樱桃泉州立公园，其中一处野餐亭被列入了《国家史迹名录》(NRHP)。自1952年以来，每年8月，公园都会举办一年一度的“樵夫表演”。 在2000年，樱桃泉州立公园被自然资源保护部誉为宾夕法尼亚第一暗空公园。毗邻公园的樱桃泉机场建于1935年，机场于2006年关闭并被划入公园之内，以扩大人们观看星空的区域。2007年6月11 日，国际暗空协会将其称为第二大“国际黑夜公园”；在最佳观测条件下，银河系会投下清晰可见的轮廓。樱桃泉受到全国媒体报道，且每年举办两次星空夜宴，吸引来了众多天文学家。该园面向公众会定期开展观测星空和教育活动，每年夏天的樵夫表演都会吸引来成千上万的游客。樱桃泉还提供乡村露营、野餐设施、山地骑车、远足和雪地摩托项目。周围的州立森林里有着各种各样的动植物。 (zh)
