至少在公元前10000年,就有人类生活在现在的宾夕法尼亚州。第一批定居者是古印第安的游牧猎人,从他们的石器中可以看出。[3][4]从公元前7000年到公元前1000年,古代(英语:Archaic period (North America))的狩猎采集者使用了更多种类、更复杂的石头制品。公元前1000年至公元1500年间的疏林时代,标志着人们从游牧生活逐渐过渡到半永久性村庄和农业阶段。该州发现的有关这一时期的考古证据包括一系列类型和风格的陶器、墓冢、烟斗、弓箭和装饰品。[3]
截至2017年 (2017-Missing required parameter 1=month!)[update],占地2.0公頃(5英畝)的上松底州立公园内的娱乐活动仅限于采摘和钓鱼。[2]虽然该公园在20世纪20年代初建立时是一个带有厕所的露营地,[12]但现在该公园没有露营地或卫生设施。[39]1885年,上松底溪被列入鳟鱼和鲈鱼垂钓指南,[54]1925年,森林和水域部称营地里有很好的捕鱼和狩猎活动。1994年,据报道该溪流中的褐鳟鱼长度超过51厘米(20英寸)。[52]2022年,宾夕法尼亚州鱼类和船只委员会(英语:Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission)已将上松底溪的全部水域指定为经批准的鳟鱼水域,这意味着该水域中放养了鳟鱼,人们可以在鳟鱼季节捕捞。[55]
