About the Pennsylvania Wilds Region
Unsurpassed natural beauty, charming towns awash in history, and the biggest elk herd in the Northeast: that's the Pennsylvania Wilds. Imagine more than two million acres of public lands set aside for your enjoyment offering unlimited recreational opportunities.
You’ll find hundreds of miles of backpacking trails, bike paths, trout fishing streams, the Pine Creek Gorge (a.k.a. the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon), the Allegheny National Forest, and the darkest skies in the east at Cherry Springs State Park. Nestled among the forests, valleys, and countryside are cozy lodgings, rustic campgrounds, unique artisans, and more to do than you could fit into a lifetime. Interpretive signage tells the story of the region's rich history and heritage.
Take home a little piece of the Pennsylvania Wilds to cherish your adventure.
The beauty of the Pennsylvania Wilds is evident in the work of the local craftsmen. You'l find country shops tucked into every nook and cranny of the area. Tempt your taste buds as you sample sweet treats. With one-of-a-kind shops, restaurants, and hotels everywhere you look, it's evident that regional pride is crafted into every unique item.
Come visit us where life is wild---we hope you’ll stay awhile.
