Burns Run Wild Area, encompassing 2,408 acres within Sproul State Forest, offers a pristine wilderness experience along the Chuck Keiper Trail. Traversing deep, rocky canyons carved by Burns Run and its tributaries, hikers encounter moss-covered boulders, cascading streams, and remnants of 19th-century logging railroads.
Notably, Burns Run flows into the West Branch Susquehanna River, linking this secluded area to one of Pennsylvania's major waterways. With no roads penetrating its interior, Burns Run Wild Area promises solitude and a true backcountry adventure.
