Jerry Run is one of the many small streams you'll encounter when hiking in the Quehanna Wild Area. What sets it apart from some of the others is its large population of brook trout and other species such as darters and sculpins.

From this point you can take a short trail down to Park Dam and Parker Lake. If you have the time there is a loop trail around the lake.

Laurel Run flows for 16.5 miles before joining Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek and eventually the Susquehanna River. It is dammed near its mid point by Parker Dam, which is the center of Park Dam State Park.

The area around Medix Run and Benezette is known as "Elk Country" and it is home to one of the largest herd of elk in the eastern US. You'll want to have your camera and/or binoculars at the ready while hiking through the hills and meadows around here.

Elk State Forest is one of eight state forests within the Pennsylvania Wilds. The forest is open to all manner of outdoor activities, some available all year while others such as hunting and cross-country skiing are only offered seasonally.

The area encompassed by the Quehanna Wild Area is a wildlife haven and one of the best places in Pennsylvania to spot elk as well as dozens of local and migratory bird species. Those who explore a little deeper will also find hidden waterfalls and primitive campsites where they can spend the night alone in the wilderness.

Covering over 190,000 acres, the Moshannon State Forest offers everything outdoor adventurers could ask for. Visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, fishing, camping, hunting and more. Also, the area is a spectacular place to visit during the fall color season.

The Quehanna Trail follows along a ridge above Mosquito Creek, offering glimpses across the landscape. The colors during the fall leaf season are especially stunning.
