Riverside Park is a park on Oriskany Road in Mapleton, next to the Mapleton Volunteer Fire Department. OpenStreetMap lists the Borough of Mapleton as its operator.

The park's boat launch is on the Juniata River. A Feb. 22, 2025 Daily News story reported that Mapleton Borough was still working to finalize payment for the project, which focused on replacing the launch's concrete ramp. The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Fish and Boat Commission split the cost.

The Mapleton Volunteer Fire Department's community day and 5K are held at the park, and the Jayme Piper memorial car show is part of that day. A 2025 edition was planned for Sept. 13, 2025, and the 2026 edition is set for Sept. 12, 2026. Registration for the 2026 5K will cost $25 per person, and a car entry is $10.

State Game Lands 112 is one of the Pennsylvania Game Commission's state game lands in its Southcentral region. The Commission's map gives 6,441 acres in four separate tracts. The map places the two southernmost tracts on Jack's Mountain and the northern tract on Stone Mountain. The land lies in Brady, Miller and Henderson townships and reaches into Wayne Township in Mifflin County.

The map says deer, bear and turkey hunting is the main draw, with late-season grouse and squirrel hunting also drawing hunters. The Standing Stone Trail is located on the land, and a designated 1.9-mile trail section is open to hikers, bicyclists and horseback riders. A Daily News article from September 2026 names the Thousand Steps as a hiking trail through the land.

Access is mainly through state routes 22 and 655 and local roads, and the map shows seven public parking areas. The Game Commission reminds hunters and nonhunters that fluorescent orange must be worn on state game lands from Oct. 1 through Jan. 31, 2027, the Daily News reports.

The Thousand Steps is a rocky stairway of 1,037 steps that climbs Jacks Mountain in Jacks Narrows, near Mount Union. According to StateCollege.com, HarbisonWalker employees built the steps so that workers could reach the Ledge Quarry at the top of the mountain. The trail club's Standing Stone Trail section list runs from US 22 to a kiosk on the Thousand Steps (section 17b), then from that kiosk to Ledge Quarry (section 18).

The trailhead is along US 22, between Mapleton and Mount Union. The climb itself is a half-mile, and StateCollege.com says the view from the old quarry ledge stretches across the narrows and the Juniata River below. Going down is much easier than climbing up, the article adds, though it still takes care with footing.

Public access was nearly lost in 1997 until the Save Our Steps Committee rallied support. SummitPost says no permits or fees are required for the trails in the area, and that parking at the trailhead is free.
