Hyner View State Park is a 6 acre (0.02 km²) Pennsylvania State Park in Chapman Township, Clinton County, Pennsylvania in the United States. The park is 6 miles (10 km) east of Renovo and 3 miles (5 km) north of Hyner on Pennsylvania Route 120 (Route 120 here is also known as Bucktail State Park). Hyner View State Park is surrounded by Sproul State Forest.

The park is the location of a scenic lookout and a launching point for hang gliding. Visitors to Hyner View State Park can see the West Branch Susquehanna River for many miles both up and downstream. Hang gliders can be launched from the lookout wall (that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression) and glide over the river valley. There is a small picnic area at the park.
