In order to play for days, you must find a place to stay.
Once the former lumber capital of the world, the PA Wilds is home to more than 2 million acres of public land, 50 state game lands, 29 state parks, 8 state forests, 2 National Wild & Scenic Rivers, abundant wildlife, hundreds of miles of land and water trails, some of the darkest skies in the country, and the largest elk herd in the northeast.
Our state parks, state forests and the Allegheny National Forest offer plentiful opportunities to explore your wild side and all that nature has to offer. Many offer lodging amenities, and backpacking is permitted on state and national forestlands. In addition, there are plentiful places across the Pennsylvania Wilds that offer you a place to rest and rejuvenate – including inns, cabins, bed and breakfast establishments, and more!
