Talk:Laurel Ridge State Park

Bridge
This article mentions that the bridge over the turnpike has been rebuilt. I skimmed the article briefly and I didn't see a mention of the bridge being closed in the first place. I am not sure if this bit of information should be added. Gerry D (talk) 01:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Good find - thanks! The article says the old bridge closed after an inspection in December 2009. I think this is worth adding. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:32, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I can add it tomorrow if I don't forget. I knew the bridge was out and I thought I had added that to the article. I guess I didn't. Gerry D (talk) 04:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Splitting Article for Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail
Having a full description of the 70 mile-long Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail in the middle of this article is nonsensical and appears to be the result of a redirect decision way back in 2007. Also, the trail is not completely within the boundaries of the various chunks of the state park, and visits some state game lands and state forest tracts, not to mention the completely different Ohiopyle State Park. (The state's websites describe the trail as being completely within Laurel Ridge State Park, but this is visibly false when looking at maps in the same websites, and obviously when hiking the trail.) Having a description of the trail here also distracts from additional specific state park info that may be available. Therefore I will be bold and do an article split, creating a separate article for the trail. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:59, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The newly splitted trail article is now available at Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail, if anyone who contributed trail info here would like to go there and continue. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 19:06, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
 * If anyone happens to read this, I finally figured out the proper way to handle this. The Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is protected *AS* a linear state park, with management coordinated from Laurel Ridge State Park. Still, they are two different entities. Having them in the same article, illustrated via each other's maps, and often described as each other, was nonsensical. That was the case before late 2021 but I think it is finally straightened out. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:54, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
