Surrounded by 160,000 acres of state forestland, this National Natural Landmark is approximately 50 miles long and about 1,500 feet at the highest point. Explore by bike, foot or horseback along Pine Creek Rail Trail, the 60+ mile trail along the bottom of the Gorge.

The Pennsylvania State Laurel Festival, Dickens of Christmas and the Susquehannock Trail PRO Rally are the major events that entertain people of all ages.
