WYOMING STATE FOREST
The Wyoming State Forest, located in Pennsylvania, is a pristine natural reserve that offers visitors a tranquil and immersive experience in the great outdoors. Spanning over 21,000 acres, this forest boasts a diverse range of ecosystems, including dense woodlands, picturesque mountain streams, and rolling hills. It is renowned for its abundant wildlife, allowing nature enthusiasts to spot various species, such as white-tailed deer, bobcats, and black bears. The forest offers a plethora of recreational activities, including camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting, making it a perfect destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure, solitude, and a deep connection with nature.
World's End State Park was developed in 1936 by the Department of Forest and Waters and the Civilian Conservation Corps. The park, 780 acres nested in the Wyoming State Forest, was operated for many years by the forest district. It was first know as "Whil's Glen" due to its location at a narrow S-shaped gorge in the Loyalsock Creek, where the stream throws itself against a sheer rock wall and then continues its journey at a right angle to its original course. Today, the park is managed by the Pennsylvania Bureau of State Parks. It offers rental cabins and facilities for camping, swimming, fishing, picnicking and nature study.
