Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means it's official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Fuelwood Permits

    Remote fulfillment fuelwood permits can be accommodated by contacting the Loyalsock State Forest district office.

    Relevant forms will be provided and electronically submitted via email.

    Avoid Active Construction Zones

    State forest visitors are reminded that it is unlawful and dangerous to enter active construction zones. Construction zones are clearly defined and public entry is prohibited.

    General Road Closures

    Unplanned road closures for maintenance activities and weather emergencies can occur throughout the year, so calling or emailing in advance of your visit to Loyalsock State Forest is always a good idea. Contact the Resource Management Center for updates at 570-946-4049.

    Other road maintenance projects which don't require a road closure also occur throughout the year. For your safety and the safety of our workers, please observe and obey traffic signage.

    Don’t Move Firewood

    To help protect the forest from invasive insects that can kill trees and devastate the ecosystem, please do not transport firewood over long distances.

    Firewood can harbor insects such as emerald ash borer and spotted lanternfly. Cut or purchase your firewood where you intend to burn it.
