How to get to French Creek State Park
The park sits off PA Route 345 near Elverson, roughly an hour (about 50 miles) northwest of Philadelphia and about 25 miles southeast of Reading via the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and Route 10. RV drivers should expect rolling rural two-lane roads with moderate grades on the final approach through Berks County farmland; there are no major tunnels, but low-clearance bridges on some local shortcuts should be avoided, so stick to Route 345. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is the nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips, about 60 miles to the southeast.
