Save Denton Hill State Park 

AN OPEN LETTER FROM DENTON GO

On Tuesday, the Pa. Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources announced that it had chosen Denton Go, LLC as its private partner to implement an ambitious plan to revitalize Denton Hill State Park by the creation of a four-season outdoor recreational facility.

So who is Denton Go? We are eager to answer that question! Denton Go is a partnership of three families whose roots run deep in the area. We’re connected by a sincere desire to improve the quality of life in and around Potter County, and to provide a quality experience for everyone who visits the park. We are fully prepared to build upon the hard work and sacrifices of others over the years who established Denton Hill State Park as one of the premier winter recreation centers in the Northeast.

One of our managing partners, Scott Carts, is uniquely qualified to lead Denton Go as the principal of a forestry and recreation services company. Scott is the grandson of respected forester and civic leader Clifford Carts, one of the founders of today’s Denton Hill State Park. Through his hands-on experiences operating ski resorts and other outdoor recreational endeavors, Scott is keenly aware of what it takes to successfully operate a resort in a rural setting.

Todd Brown has a wealth of business management experience as fleet manager for a major telecommunications company, chief fiscal and operational administrator for the Potter County government, and current endeavors that include an executive role with Ultimate Power in Coudersport, Pa.

Our other partner, Jason Holmberg, also has extensive local business experience with founding roles at PA Pellets and as the CFO of Ultimate Power.

Denton Go plans to reopen Denton Hill State Park for four-season operations. This will include prior winter operations as a downhill ski and snowboarding destination along with expanded snow tubing. During the spring, summer and fall operations, Denton Go will become the go-to place for activities during the day for dark-sky and Pennsylvania Wilds tourists. A visitor center will provide information on area attractions and onsite activities.

Four-season operations will be designed around the unique recreational opportunities offered by the chair lifts such as hiking, IMBA-rated mountain biking, adventure/recreation courses, and unparalleled dark-sky viewing from the top of the mountain. Overnight sites will increase area lodging opportunities that will provide RVers and campers access to existing ATV and snowmobiling trails. The venue will host festivals and be available for event hosting.

We at Denton Go express our appreciation to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania representatives, elected officials, community leaders and others who have supported or encouraged us. We look forward to a bright future.
