Hiking and Backpacking

If you like solitude and the chance to view Mother Nature at her best, the Quehanna Wild area is for you. There are 50,000 acres full of forests, streams, trails and wildlife to experience.For those preferring something a little less on the "wild side, our state and county recreational facilities have trails which are secluded, yet close to comfort amenities. In addition, there are state game lands in several parts of the county. For the best Mountain Laurel viewing, we recommend the ones in southern Clearfield County.

Grab your camera, water bottle, and a friend and set out on a trek to see wild lands and wild life as you walk on a piece of history- the rail beds and river that helped to build the county's coal, lumber and mineral trade.
