About Us

Astonished by the number of local residents unfamiliar with the natural wonders Roche-A-Cri State Park has to offer, and dismayed by plans to close the park because of poor attendance, FRAC was organized in l992, through the support of community members and the Adams County Chamber of Commerce to reverse these trends.

FRAC was instrumental in the successful effort to keep Roche-A-Cri State Park open and they have lent their support to numerous park improvements. The first of these was the interpretive panels installed at the base of the mound and, in 1993-94, the construction of the 303-step stairway to the top of Roche-A-Cri Mound. FRAC also assists in promoting the use of the park through education activities offered to school groups.

FRAC sponsors several events at Roche-A-Cri, including the Annual Amateur Photo Contest, Breakfast with the Birds, Fall Festival, Open House, and various naturalist presentations designed to promote the use and appreciation of the extraordinary natural resource.

The Friends welcome your help to continue these efforts on behalf of this and future generations, for all who are awed by nature’s magnificence and intrigued by its intricacies.
