CCC at Gooseberry Falls


Many of the Parks we visited have had Civilian Conservation Corps (1933-1942) construction. Gooseberry Falls seems to have more, or maybe it is just that the construction materials stand out more. The rocks are red granite and dark gabbro.

Lady Slipper Lodge is near our campsite and is used for camper church services and local weddings.
The water tower contains a 10,000 gallon steel tank.
Even a pump house is cool!
There is a section called the Castle. It was originally built as a wall for parking areas and a great view but the roads have moved so it’s just cool construction.

Near the outhouse was this shelter with a great view.
And the picnic tables.
Oh, and the view with some other picnic tables in the distance.
 Even guardrails.
