Hickory Creek Wilderness

Hickory Creek Wilderness is Pennsylvania’s only federal wilderness—16,000 acres of old-growth forest that survived the logging era. This is eastern wilderness at its finest: hemlocks, rhododendron thickets, and streams that have run wild for centuries. While most people chase western peaks, Hickory Creek quietly protects what’s left of Pennsylvania’s ancient woodlands. Rep the wilderness that proves you don’t need mountains to find wild places worth protecting.
