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. 

    ​Hunting for deer, turkey, grouse, squirrels, and black bear is a popular use of the forest during designated seasons. Other than a few safety zones around buildings and picnic areas, hunting is permitted throughout the state forest. The Resource Management Center near Laporte serves as a bear check station and the forest district has excellent black bear habitat. Additional information on hunting can be obtained from the Pennsylvania Game Commission or the

    D​​epartment of Conservation and Natural Resour​c​es​.
