Beautiful Central PA State Forest!

Bald Eagle State Forest's beautiful mountain ridges, bubbling streams, and wooded hills stretch across five Pennsylvania counties and is nearly 200,000 acres large. The park gets its name from the famous Native American, Chief Bald Eagle. For nature lovers there is plenty to do here. Mountain biking and motorized ATV trails in PA run throughout Bald Eagle State Forest. The Mid State Trail, which runs through the forest, is a rugged 189-mile cross-country hiking trail for the heartier adventurers. 

This woodland also houses several "Natural Areas" which have been set aside to protect specific animal or plant habitats from human intervention. Visit Rosencrans Bog Natural Area to see the wild cranberry plants, beautiful bright red Mountain Holly, and High-Bush Blueberry; or for more lofty views visit Tall Timbers Natural Area - over 600 acres covered in towering oak, white pine, hemlock, and hard pine trees.
