'''Worlds End State Park''' is a {{convert|780|acre|0|adj=on}} [[List of Pennsylvania state parks|Pennsylvania state park]] in [[Sullivan County, Pennsylvania]], in the United States. The park, nearly surrounded by [[Loyalsock State Forest]], is in the [[Loyalsock Creek]] valley on [[Pennsylvania Route 154]], in [[Forks Township, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania|Forks]] and [[Shrewsbury Township, Sullivan County, Pennsylvania|Shrewsbury]] Townships southeast of the borough of [[Forksville, Pennsylvania|Forksville]]. The name ''Worlds End'' has been used since at least 1872, but its origins are uncertain. Although it was founded as ''Worlds End State Forest Park'' by Governor [[Gifford Pinchot]] in 1932, the park was officially known as ''Whirls End State Forest Park'' from 1936 to 1943.<ref name="wesphistory"/>
