Scenic Overlooks and Island Camping!

Nearly half of the famous 229 mile Appalachian Trail passes through the Weiser Forest District as well as over 30 miles of smaller trails. Hang gliding enthusiasts can make use of the launch area and vista located within the forest in Dauphin County. A great place for picnicking, Weiser has several picnic sites which include picnic tables, charcoal grills and drinking water.

The Sheets Island Archipelago, a series of river islands on the Susquehanna River, are open for camping at over 20 sites and water trails have been marked for those wishing to do canoe/camping trips. This Pennsylvania state forest is also open for mountain biking, horseback riding, hunting, and fishing.
