“On October 26, 2026, park staff discovered two separate locations in the park where construction and roofing materials had been illegally dumped,” the post said. “A white pick-up truck towing a black dump-style trailer was seen leaving the park at approximately 7:30 a.m. that day.”
The dumped material included asphalt roofing shingles, metal flashing and other debris.
“Pennsylvania’s state parks belong to everyone. Illegal dumping not only violates the law, but also degrades natural resources, threatens wildlife habitat, and requires significant public resources to investigate and remove. DCNR is committed to protecting these valuable public lands,” the post said.
The truck is described as a heavy-duty style pickup with aftermarket wheels and tires that extend past the fenders.
According to the park, North Hopewell Township police are also investigating another similar dumping incident.

Anyone with information about the illegal dumping, or who saw a vehicle matching the description in south-central Pennsylvania or northern Maryland, is asked to contact the Codorus State Park Ranger’s Office.
