Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center

Shout it from the rooftops...Shaver's Creek is now open!

For anyone who's new here, let us introduce ourselves. 🤝 Shaver's Creek is Penn State's official nature center and field lab. Located in the heart of the Stone Valley forest, we are a gateway to the outdoors for students and community members alike.

🦉 Swing by to meet our resident wildlife, participate in a program, take a walk on the trails, or just say hi! We've got so much to discover at Shaver's Creek.

We are endlessly grateful for your patience and flexibility over the past many months as we've paused operations to prepare our new parking lot. Our site now features ample free parking with improved stormwater drainage and accessibility considerations.

Please pardon our dust and use caution navigating construction areas as we continue to wrap up some final touches on site. Note that the new parking lot features a different flow of traffic than you may be used to.

Head to shaverscreek.org today to see a full list of upcoming programs, or just stop by during our regular business hours of 10-5 daily! We can't wait to see you! ... See MoreSee Less
