Facility Overview
Lime Bluff Park (also known as Lime Bluff Recreation Area) is a sprawling, multi-acre public park nestled in Wolf Township just outside the borough of Hughesville, Pennsylvania. The parking facilities consist of multiple spacious, open-air surface parking bays serving the athletic fields, recreation pavilions, walking trail loops, and disc golf course. Because all parking areas are grade-level and completely uncovered, there are no overhead clearance restrictions or vertical height barriers, making the lot accessible for passenger sedans, pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and recreational vehicles transporting sports equipment or bicycles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Situated in scenic eastern Lycoming County, Lime Bluff Park serves as a community hub for outdoor sports and leisure. Key destinations and recreational assets located immediately adjacent to or within the park include:
- Lime Bluff Disc Golf Course: A popular 18-hole championship disc golf course that winds through the park\'s open fields, elevation changes, and wooded borders.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
The park is accessed primarily via Elm Drive and Lime Bluff Road, branching off PA Route 405 (Muncy/Hughesville corridor) and connecting seamlessly to US Route 220 and Interstate 180. The entrance driveways provide wide turning radii and clear sightlines, ensuring easy ingress and egress even during busy youth sports tournaments, weekend disc golf competitions, or community pavilion rentals. Public transit options in rural Lycoming County are limited, making personal vehicles, carpools, and bicycles the primary means of reaching the facility.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Lime Bluff Park operates on standard dawn-to-dusk hours, and overnight parking is strictly prohibited unless specifically permitted for sanctioned municipal events. During peak spring and autumn youth athletic leagues or weekend disc golf tournaments, the primary lot closest to the playgrounds can fill quickly; if so, proceed to the secondary pavilion parking areas which often retain open spaces. In winter months, note that snow clearance may focus primarily on the main entrance and primary bays, so take care when navigating secondary unpaved or gravel turnaround areas.
