Tuscarora State Forest


Tuscarora State Forest

One of the Best Places for Birdwatching in PA!

Home of the Golden Eagle Migration Project being conducted by researchers from West Virginia University - this state forest is a great place to watch for both Golden and Bald Eagles. Hoverter and Sholl Box Huckleberry Natural Area, one of the many natural areas in Tuscarora State Forest, is home to an ancient colony of box huckleberry (estimated at 1,300 years old). Visit to see this rare sight and walk the interpretive trail nearby. Another stop for history enthusiasts, the short Tunnel Trail leads to the ruins of two railroads and has an informational display case to help visitors learn about the railway.

For good hunting in PA, there is a 6,000 acre area with a prodigious amount of wild game - primarily deer and wild turkey - making this a popular destination of hunters everywhere. Trout fishing is also popular along the many creeks and streams that run throughout the forest.
