Overview

Description

Tiadaghton State Forest is named for a native-American term originally describing Pine Creek. Though most of Tiadaghton State Forest’s 146,539 acres reside in Lycoming County, some tracts extend into Tioga, Potter, Clinton, and Union Counties.


It is one of eight state forests located in the Pennsylvania Wilds region.


The Tiadaghton State Forest offers stunning scenery with camping areas in the Pine Creek Valley that features rustic tent campsites near numerous recreation opportunities, such as canoe launches, fishing access, hiking trails, and the Pine Creek Rail Trail.


For more information visit the Tiadaghton State Forest Website or Facebook page.

Geography:

Camping areas are located in the floodplain of Pine Creek and are entirely on level ground. However, most of the terrain consists of narrow, flat to sloping plateaus cut by steep-sloped valleys carved by fast moving mountain streams, including Pine Creek and its tributaries. Elevations in the area typically range from about 700-2100 feet above sea level.

Recreation:

There are concrete nonmotorized canoe/boat launches in the Pine Creek Valley. The Pine Creek Rail Trail runs parallel to the campgrounds and is easily accessible for cyclists and pedestrians. In addition, numerous hiking trails (i.e. Bob Webber Trail, Golden Eagle, Black Forest Trail) are located within close proximity but require a short commute via automobile. The Quarry Mountain Trail trailhead is located across State Rte 414 from Tomb Flats, opposite of the entrance to the campground and can be used to access the Golden Eagle Trail.


For trail maps visit the Tiadaghton State Map webpage.

Facilities:

The Pine Creek Rail Trail is improved and developed, however the Tiadaghton State Forest is managed primarily for dispersed recreation so facilities are generally limited. Trailheads and parking areas are available throughout the forest.


A vault toilet is located within Tomb Flats and Black Walnut Bottom campgrounds and other locations along the Rail Trail.


The Tiadaghton Resource Management Center offers maps and information and has many interactive exhibits that tell the story of the area and the work of the Bureau of Forestry.

Nearby Attractions:

Pine Creek, Pine Creek Rail Trail, numerous vistas, hiking trails, mountain streams. State Parks in the area include Little Pine, Ravensburg, Susquehanna, and Upper Pine Bottom. There are also many State Game Lands managed for wildlife and hunting.
