- More than 1.5 million acres of state forest and game lands
- 29 state parks
- The 500,000-acre Allegheny National Forest
- Approximately 300,000 acres of Game Lands in the Pennsylvania Wilds
- Pine Creek Gorge
- The largest elk herd in the Northeast
- Hundreds of miles of backpacking trails, bike paths, trout fishing streams
- The darkest skies in the East at Cherry Springs State Park
- And so much more.
The Commonwealth is developing a strategy to encourage the growth of tourism and related-businesses in Northcentral Pennsylvania based on these significant outdoor experiences. For the latests news on the PA Wilds, visit the Word on the Wilds newsletter.
