Parker Dam State Park started out as a large forest area with the small Laurel Run stream running through it. In the late 1800’s, lumbermen entered the area, cut down the large white pines, built splash dams in the small streams, and log slides for moving the timber from the hillsides. In the early 1900’s, logging railroads were laid into Laurel, Little Laurel, Moose and Mud Runs. The lumbermen left as quickly as they came and all they left as far as you could see were bare lands. Many years have passed and you now see that the conversion of this beautiful land was, and still is, an investment worth its effort.
