Both of the award-winning 18-hole courses offer a restaurant, lounge, and a fully stocked pro shop, as well as the area’s best practice facility. We have everything you need to stay on top of your game in a setting among acres of woods, water, and wildlife. Both Treasure Lake Golf Courses have unique qualities. This allows golfers to enjoy two different experiences at the same resort. From our Treasure Lake Golf Professional: “You’d be hard-pressed to find courses of this quality anywhere for the price.” The 6,747-yard Silver Course (par 72) is longer and more “open.” It holds four sets of tees and is maintained with 70 sand traps and water hazards placed across wide and open fairways. Putting accuracy is essential on the Silver Course’s well-manicured greens. It offers a great training facility with our golf professional, who provides lessons and expert advice and facilitates competitive tournaments and events. Golfer's Digest has featured The Gold Course as one of the best and most affordable courses available in Pennsylvania. This four-tee, 6,283-yard (par 72) course is a bit shorter, more wooded, and narrower than the Silver, with a lot of gradient shifts, requiring a bit more precision from the golfer.      

If taking the road less traveled is how you will write your story, these backroads explorations are the perfect choice.Backroads Drives We know visitors to the backwoods. backroads. backwaters. are in search of something different, something out of the ordinary. If taking the road less traveled is how you will write your story, these backroads explorations are the perfect choice. These routes will be especially fun at dusk for wildlife viewing and spotting for nocturnal wildlife Spotlighting is a unique opportunity that very few states allow. In the west, CO, WY etc. spotlighting is illegal and strictly forbidden, but not in PA. Spotlighting allows you to locate game that may only move nocturnally, and provides hours of recreational entertainment. This is a chance to locate a trophy game animal, for the small price of a spotlight and a little gas. Make sure you familiarize yourself with PA’s law on spotlighting which includes shining a light on any building, disturbing farm animals, spotlighting after 11 PM or during deer hunting season. We chose routes which take you on a combination of dirt, gravel and paved roads that are decorated with sights that will become part of your eternal memory.

This is the Pennsylvania Wilds... a two million acre landscape composed of twelve distinct and beautiful counties, each with its own unique heritage, character, charm and outdoor adventure. Acre upon acre of lush forests, rugged mountain trails, and streams where the fish practically leap into your canoe—that's the Pennsylvania Wilds.  You outdoorsy types know just what you're looking for, and guess what? We've got it. With more public land than anywhere else between New York and Chicago, the Pennsylvania Wilds is a haven for hardcore adventurers, armchair naturalists, and families looking for some real-life fun beyond the minivan door. www.pawilds.com When it's time to stop driving and start relaxing, what do you look for in overnight accommodations?  For some people, the perfect place might be a romantic B&B with a cozy four-poster bed near a fireplace.  The more adventurous may be interested in Primitive Camping.  For others, it might be a hotel with high-speed Internet access and a pool for the kids.  Indulge in a pampering at one of our resorts with a spa! Some people have the gift of working with their hands to create beautiful things. We're glad so many of these people are drawn to the Pennsylvania Wilds. Potters, quilters, knitters, woodworkers, glassmakers, jewelers—they're all here, and they're all passionate about their work. Some maintain their own galleries and studio spaces, some share space with other like-minded craftspeople, and others display and sell their wares in commercial and community venues. You can learn about many of our juried artist, see samples of their creations and find gallery locations here at the PA Wilds Artisans web site.  It's a place where neighbors greet you from spacious front porches. A place where kids play till the streetlights come on. A place that feels like home. And yet it's more-our towns are home to some surprising offerings, like artisan goat cheese in Wellsboro, Straub Beer in St. Marys, and the Little League Hall of Fame in Williamsport. Cool and quirky are part of the appeal, too-you haven't really lived until you've visited Punxsutawney Phil or participated in Red Suspender Weekend in Galeton. Intrigued? You should be! The Golf PA Wilds Program includes golf courses and lodging facilities that have come together offering some of the best golf, most spectacular scenery and affordable stay-and-play packages in our part of Pennsylvania.  GolfPAwilds.com Who needs the multiplex when you can see live theatre?

Too long, we bet. We have two breweries in The PA Wilds. Straubs is located in St. Marys and Bullfrog in Williamsport and another brewery looking to expand its facility in Clearfield County. We have wineries all through the communities and towns of the PA Wilds. Most have music and other events taking place throughout the season. We also have the Groundhog Wine Trail.

If you’re looking for the ideal place to track your trophy, the Backwoods of Clearfield County are the best. Make Clearfield County Your Next Hunting Hot Spot!! If you’re looking for the ideal place to track your trophy, the Backwoods of Clearfield County are the best. You’re welcome to take advantage of big game, small game and predators of trophy size right here in Pennsylvania. Clearfield County is regularly in the top ten counties in the state for whitetail deer, bear and turkey harvests. While whitetail populations have been down across all of central Pennsylvania for the last few years, Clearfield County is now coming back strong, and the quality of our whitetail bucks is far better than it has ever been. Chances of harvesting a buck worthy of mounting are easily tenfold over just five years ago. Bear Hunters, our bear population in Clearfield County is at a record high.  Every year some of the largest bears in the harvests come from Clearfield County. Pennsylvania has adapted the laws for bear hunting making it easier for out of area hunters to enjoy quality hunting time. For all you avid turkey hunters, Clearfield County is the place to be. There’s turkey everywhere!!  The populations are at record levels and success rates are high. Spring gobbler season has new expanded opportunities allowing hunters, after the first week of season in 2011, to stay in the field all day long.  Why not make this exciting season longer and apply for a 2nd spring gobbler tag. Become a part of one of the world’s largest coyote hunts. This event brings in sportsmen from many states and has had as many as 5,000 participants. The Mosquito Creek Sportsmen’s Club holds this lucrative coyote hunt for three days each February. The top cash prize is over $5,000 for the heaviest coyote harvested. The club initiated this hunt in the mid 1980’s in an effort to help local sheep ranchers protect their herds from further devastation by these keen predators. Several other clubs hold events this same time of year, and with all the coyotes in Clearfield County you could be a BIG winner.  There are thousands of vast acres of State Forest Lands and thousands of acres of private land in Clearfield County. We recommend you ask permission before entering someone’s private property.  After the first few days of season opening, you can find solitude in this beautiful vast mountainous area.  When you get back away from the great network of state forest roads, you might hunt all day and not see another hunter. You can also contact Black Hills, LLC and inquire about a lease to hunt the more than 13,000 acres of thicket, grapevines and Mountain Laurel.   One of Clearfield County’s newest wildlife additions is the presence of the Rocky Mountain Elk. Pennsylvania’s Elk heard is expanding into northern Clearfield County. You can usually find these majestic creatures late in the evenings near the towns of Shawville, Frenchville, Karthaus and in the Quehanna Wild Area. You won’t want to miss the sound and sight of a Bull Elk bugling. From September thru early October the elk experience will send chills up your spine and turn you into an Elkaholic. If you have any questions about where to go hunting or need to gear up for a hunt, Clearfield has three of the best sporting goods stores you’ll find anywhere! Find everything you will need to complete your one-of-a-kind hunting experience.  Come hunt with us, and enjoy all the diversity and opportunity Clearfield County has to offer.
