Conservation
Protecting the Swatara Creek is more than just picking up trash to make it look nice. Water conservation begins on the land. Riparian buffer plantings, cleanups and education are all things we do to help with the conservation of the Swatara Creek and its watershed.
Bordner Cabin
After 20 years, SWA has turned over stewardship of the Bordner Cabin to Swatara State Park. For any questions or concerns about the cabin please contact the Memorial Lake State Park Office at (717)865-6470.
