Hillman State Park is a 3,600-acre (14.57 km2) Pennsylvania State Park in Hanover Township, Washington County in the United States. It is about 25 miles (40 km) west of Pittsburgh. The park opened in the late 1960s and has been managed for hunting by the Pennsylvania Game Commission since the early 1980s. The park also has hiking and mountain bike trails that are open to the public.[2] The largely undeveloped park is north of U.S. Route 22 and east of Pennsylvania Route 18 in northern Washington County near Barrington.[3] Part of the park has been designated as Pennsylvania State Game Lands 117.[4]
