New Germany State Park is popular for camping, cross country skiing, hiking, swimming and picnicking. The 13-acre lake was formed when Poplar Lick Run was dammed for a mill operation known as Swauger's Mill Dam. It was named for mid-nineteenth century sawmill and gristmill builder, John Swauger.
Spruce Forest Artisan Village is an arts and heritage center where artists, permanent residents in the village, offer demonstrations of Colonial and contemporary arts and crafts. The artists open their studios to visitors to display pottery, carving, stained glass, weaving, spinning and woodcarving. The twelve restored log houses and buildings were moved to Spruce Forest from local farms and homesteads.
