State Park Cherry Springs

History

Native American

Archaeological evidence shows that humans have in what is now Pennsylvania is at least 10,000 BC. The first settlers were Paleo-Indian nomadic hunters know their stone tools. Hunter-gatherers the Archaic period, which lasted from 7000-1000 BC to local, use a greater variety of sophisticated stone tools. The period marked the gradual transition from forest to semi-permanent villages and horticulture, between 1000 a. C. and 1500 AD. Archaeological found in the state of that time includes a variety of types and styles of ceramic burial mounds, pipes, bows and arrows and ornaments.

Map of the park and facilities

Historical records show that the first known inhabitants of the watershed West Branch Susquehanna River, which includes Cherry Springs State Park, were the Iroquois-speaking Susquehannock. They have a matriarchal society that live in large houses in villages close long. Decimated by disease and war with the Five Nations of the Iroquois, died in 1675, abandoned, or were assimilated by other tribes. Another name for the tribe is "Susquehanna", where the river and the forest surrounding Susquehannock State near the entire park is named for them.

After the departure of the Susquehannock, the land of the valley of the West Branch Susquehanna River is under the nominal control of the Iroquois, who lived in houses long, especially in what is now upstate New York and had a solid confederation gave them power beyond their numbers. The Seneca, members the Iroquois Confederation, killed in what is now Cherry Springs State Park. Its nearest towns 51 miles (82 kilometers) north-east modernization of Painted Post, New York and 43 miles (69 kilometers) south-east in what is now Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. The Seneca had temporary hunting camps eastern region of Pine Creek Gorge. To fill the void left by the disappearance of the Susquehannock, Iroquois has also encouraged displaced tribes East to settle in the basin of West Branch, including the Lenape (or Delaware) and Shawnee.

The Seneca and now too few to go across the region and had no native solution to a minimum. French and Indian War (17541763) has led to the migration of many Native west of the Ohio River basin, and more left after the Revolutionary War Americana (17751783). The United States acquired the last purchase, including what is now Cherry Springs State Park, the Iroquois in the second Treaty of Fort Stanwix in October 1784. In the years that followed, the Indians almost entirely left Pennsylvania.

Pioneers and wood

Potter County was formed from part of Lycoming County on March 26, 1804, but the difficult terrain and dense forest prevented the former new county to be settled by European Americans until 1808. Before the arrival of William Penn and his Quaker colonists in 1682, 90 percent of what is now Pennsylvania was covered with forests: more 31,000 square miles (80,000 km2) in white pine, spruce and mixed hardwoods. The forests in and around the three original counties, Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, and were the first to be harvested as early settlers used the wood available and the land cleared for agriculture. When the American Revolution, has been logging reached the interior regions and mountainous, and became a leader runner in the industry in Pennsylvania. The trees provided fuel to heat homes, tannin much of the state of the tanneries, and wood for construction, furniture, and barrel making. Vast areas of forest have been harvested by minors to fire iron furnaces. Stocks of the shooting and the tiles have been made from wood from Pennsylvania, as well as a range of household utensils, and the first Conestoga wagons.

The CCC built the replica the Cherry Springs Hotel, a tavern built in 1818 by Jonathan Edgcombe.

The surrounding Cherry Springs State Park has been a desert for a large part its history. A towpath was cut through the woods in 18061807, and was expanded to accommodate the cars in 1812. (Modern Pennsylvania Route 44, which through the park follows the course that way between Jersey Shore and Coudersport.) Ceres In 1818, the Land Company, owner of most land in Potter County tried to open the area to the solution, initiated the first settlers, Jonathan Edgcombe to build a tavern or a hotel for travelers on the park site. Hotel was in a very remote area 16 miles (26 miles) south of Coudersport, and visitors were few, occasional traveler or Amerindians.

Edgcombe and his wife received 100 acres (40 hectares) of land for the construction of the hotel and the operation of three years. When the contract expired in 1821, they sold their land and left the area, but the hotel and grounds had said Edgcombe called "Elimination of Edgcombe. The Jersey Shore and Coudersport turnpike was built along the carriage path between 1825 and 1834, and tolls were collected for driving on the road until 1860. The park is located in the town of West Branch, who joined City in 1856 Eulalia. A post office is open Edgcombe compensation In 1873, the villagers asked the post office to change the name of "Cherryville" by a group of trees near Black Cherry. However, since there had a post office Cherryville, Pennsylvania, in Lehigh Township Northampton County, the name of "Cherry Spring" was chosen as compromise. Over time, an "s" was added, hence the name "Cherry Springs. So there are at least two springs in the park.

In 1874, a new hotel and has been built across the road from the tavern of origin. It provided accommodation for wealthy vacationers Coudersport. This part of the Potter County has become known for the abundance of hunting and fishing and has attracted hunters and fishermen who also stayed in Cherry Springs Hotel. It was like a paradise of sports could not last, as the timber industry's most profitable came to West Branch and municipalities Nearby, who were at home "some of the largest standing wooden right along the east coast of the United States.

When he reached Cherry wood Springs late 1880s, white pine and hemlock, including the surrounding mountains. Loggers harvest trees and sent by Susquehanna rivers of West Branch Susquehanna River to rise and sawmill in Williamsport. The cutting has allowed silt to choke waterways, and there was nothing except the canopy Dry Out, which has become a fire hazard. Consequently, large tracts of land were left scorched and barren, and many of the central state became known as Wilderness Pennsylvania. "The Cherry Springs Hotel was burned in 1897 and property has been abandoned.

Civilian Conservation Corps

As the timber was exhausted and burned the land, many companies simply abandoned their land. In 1897, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed legislation authorizing the purchase of "dethroned land forest reserves "and the first public forest lands in Pennsylvania were acquired the following year. The first land Susquehannock State Forest was acquired in 1901, the cost of major acquisitions has been an average of $ 2.50 per acre (6.18 dollars per hectare). This is roughly equivalent to $ 43 per acre ($ 107 per hectare) in 2010 terms. Since 2003, the Susquehannock State Forest, that almost completely surrounds the park, covered 265,000 acres (107,000 hectares), mainly in the Potter County with small areas of Clinton and Mckean Counties.

"The flags largest and most unique picnic CCC-built" in Pennsylvania was built in 1939.

Top: on the path below: Astronomy side of the field.

The traces of its existence Park in 1922 when the Forestry Department has established the Pennsylvania three scenic areas in the state of forests in the context of a plan "to preserve its natural beauty." One was the 6.5-mile (10.5 km) Cherry Springs Scenic Drive on the old State Highway Toll Coudersport-Jersey Shore. That same year, one of 16 "Class B" of public campgrounds in state forests has been to Cherry Springs Drive. [B] These camps are free for public use and they were all Water drinking, picnic tables, a wood stove, garbage, and latrines. The land where the hotel was purchased by Sat the state in 1932.

Like many state parks in central northern Pennsylvania, the development of facilities at Cherry Springs has been the work of the Civilian Body Conservation (CCC), a work relief program for young families without work. Created in 1933 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt s New Deal legislation, the CCC was designed to fight against unemployment during the Great Depression. It works in every state in the U.S., and has established ten CCC camps in the forest Susquehannock State, including eight in Potter County.

Cherry Springs has been the home of CCC Camp S-136-P, which was created May 27, 1933. According to 1936 field history: "Through the efforts of members [REC] Cherry Springs Park, a former center has been transformed into a park where the population Potter County can be proud. "[Sic] A reenactment of the original tavern was built as a shooting range, table picnic and shelters, roads and footpaths. Young CCC camps worked to clear the undergrowth of forests as a means of preventing fires. After the clearing of forests, planted forests of spruce and white pine and an apple orchard. Camp-Pa-136 end July 10, 1937.

The picnic pavilion other CCC roof built in the hexagonal and camping area.

The men of CCC Camp S-88-Pa, Run headquartered in the county Lyman Potter, are also active in the park. In 1939, they built a structure of Cherry Springs is "the most important flags and unique picnic CCC-built" in the state, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The pavilion overlooks the PA Route 44 and H-shape, with two partially enclosed structures (vertical lines H) connected to a corridor (horizontal bar). The corridor is a roof supported by eight wooden columns with railing newspaper. The ends of the pavilion is built log walls ring with white, like log cabins. Each end has a large opening in the hallway on a wall, while the other three sides are completely enclosed in a window in the wall facing the road, a stone fireplace and chimney on the opposite wall and a door flanked by windows on the opposite wall of the corridor.

A survey in 1984 of the Pennsylvania State Parks were found "three picnic pavilions, latrines and its partners" at Cherry Springs 'most typical daily use of small built by CCC.' These buildings are examples of rustic style that is distinguished by the CCC state parks throughout the Great Depression. The local materials were used in a manner that minimizes the impact on the environment natural, and so it resembled the style of construction of settlements of pioneers of Appalachian Mountains.

Besides the two CCC camps active in the park, Cherry Springs was also home to Camp Elliott, which was led by the Department of Pennsylvania forests and water (precursor Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR)) for students and other unemployed men. In 1935, he built an airfield, Cherry Springs middle ground, just north of the park. The airfield 40 acres (16 hectares) was originally designed for emergency landings and became later a small airport. In 1936, there was a crowd of track size 2400 by 500 feet (730 by 150 m), and a hangar. The entry of the United States in the Second World War led to the end of the CCC and all camps were closed in the summer of 1942.

Modern Era

The park has had several names over the years, from 1922 Creation of "Cherry Springs Scenic Drive" and class B camping publicly associated "Cherry Springs. Pennsylvania 1941 Highway Department official map of Potter County is listed as "Cherry Springs State Park." On November 11, 1954, Pennsylvania Geographical official name Council is "Cherry Springs State Forest picnic." Forrey 1984 History of the Pennsylvania State Parks and NRHP Registration Form 1986 is still used that name, but Forrey said he was "under the jurisdiction of the State Office of Parks." 1993 Copper our precious heritage: Pennsylvania State Parks 18931993 refers to her as "Cherry Springs State Park, and this remains the official name from 2009.

Until 10,000 stars, like them, Cygnus can be seen in the park

In the postwar period, the park was known for its location very isolated and primitive camping facilities. In August 1952, the carnival host the first play lumberjack, an annual celebration of the wood industry, has again been active in second-growth forests in the region. The festival, originally sponsored by the Club of Penn-York loggers, characteristics lumberjack competitions as a reminder of past and future exposure equipment. In 1987, the Galeton Rotary Club took over sponsorship, and changed the name of the event Loggers Fair in 1990.

In the 1980s, the CCC and work in the park have been honored. Cherry Springs State Park was one of many to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Civilian Conservation Corps CCC with a meeting in the summer of 1983. On May 11, 1987, the picnic Cherry Springs Pavilion are listed in the NRHP. None of the other CCC structures in the park has retained its historic integrity to be included in the NRHP.

Cherry Springs has begun to attract astronomers in the early 1990s. In 1999, the Fund "Dark Sky" has been created and continues "to improve the experience of stargazing and astronomy" by funding improvements in the park. In 2000 Cherry Springs Park was officially named Sky Dark "by DCNR and this year is part of the Hills Creek State Park, a group management eight state parks Potter and Tioga counties. The headquarters is at Cherry Springs State Park near Lyman Run. The National Public Observatory included "As a pilot program of the Stars-n-Parks" in April 2001. The DCNR acquired Cherry Springs Airport in 2006 "to expand the global area observing the night sky and allow for greater programming opportunities in the park and closed in 2007. June 11, 2008, the International Dark-Sky Association Cherry Springs State Park called the second "International Dark Sky Park." (The first is the Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah.)

Geology and climate

1938 Aerial view of the park, the airport, PA 44, West Branch Pine Creek, and Hopper House Run

Cherry Springs State Park is located at an altitude of 2300 feet (701 m) above sea level, atop the Allegheny Plateau and "near the limit of glaciers." The plateau and mountains Appalachians are all trained in Appalachian orogeny some 300 million years ago, when Gondwana (especially what became Africa) and this became North America collided, forming Pangea. Although the region is mountainous, they are not true mountains: Millions Years of erosion have made this plain dissection, making "Mountain" today saw land. The most ancient rocks are hard above the ridges, while softer rocks eroded to form valleys.

The park is located in the watershed Pine Creek West Branch, where the underlying rocks are mainly conglomerates, sandstones and slates. Two large rock formations are present at Cherry Springs State Park, both at least part of the Carboniferous period. The youngest of them, which is the most points in the park is the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation, a conglomerate may contain gray sandstone, siltstone, and shale and anthracite. Training is the most Upper Devonian and Lower Mississippi early Huntley Mountain training made of red sandstone slate relatively mild olive gray. Out of Brook Park was shot in the formation of the Devonian Catskill red sandstone.

The Allegheny Plateau has a continental climate, with temperatures sometimes vary harsh winter average daily low temperature 20F (11C) in winter and 26 F (14 C) in summer. The average annual rainfall for the western basin of Pine Creek Power 40-42 inches (1016-1067 mm). January is the coldest month at Cherry Springs, July the hottest June on wet. The highest temperature ever recorded in the park was 94 F (34 C) in 1966, and the record low was 28 F (33.3 C) in 1963.

Ecology

Owls Aegolius North have been studied in park.

Cherry Springs State Park and surrounding Susquehannock State Forest have recovered from the cutting of wood. However, the composition forest has changed, there are now more hardwood, including sugar maple, black cherry and less in eastern white pine and hemlock. The Park also has apple trees in the garden of the CCC. Over 400 species of birds have been found in Pennsylvania, including 186 in the state of reproduction. Birds such as the osprey, hawks, owls, nighthawks, and bald eagles are back to the park and state forests and the owls Aegolius were studied in the park.

Some animals that were extinct locally have also returned or have been reintroduced into the region including deer, elk, fisher (a type of weasel), and otters. Although prohibited in the park, hunting is permitted in the forest around the state, which has regained its title as "sportsman's paradise" in the 20th century. game species are black bear, white-tailed deer, ducks, ruffed grouse, rabbits, squirrels and red and wild turkeys. Other animals in the park and the forest are chipmunks, mink, raccoons raccoons, porcupines, marmots and the occasional bobcat and frogs, beetles and moths.

A branch of the House run Hopper rises inside the park, and flows east and then north on the west branch of Pine Creek. West Branch Road (or Branch Road) and follow the valleys of the race and the flow of Pennsylvania Route 44 east 10 miles (16 kilometers) to Galeton. PA 44 or less following the line of Pine Creek watershed basin in the north and south Sinnemahoning Creek. That leaves 44 PA Fork Road in the park and follows the eastern branch Sinnemahoning Southwest Creek Valley 12 miles (19 km) from the town of Conrad. Both rivers are approved trout streams for fishing, which means they are stocked with trout season.

Recreation

dark skies

The Trifid Nebula (M20) in Sagittarius, as seen in the park

Astronomers and astrologers see Cherry Springs State Park for the dark and clear skies, making it "perhaps the last best refuge of natural night sky" in the eastern half of USA. The skies at Cherry Springs is classified as a 2 on the scale of Bortle Dark Sky, which means that almost no light pollution. These "real dark, starry sky are not available to two thirds of the world population, 99 percent of people in the continental U.S. and Western Europe. With the best conditions, 10,000 stars are visible to the naked eye in the park, the clouds appear only as black holes in the night sky and the Milky Way is so bright that it casts a shadow visible. In contrast, residents of the city, you can see a dozen stars a lot, and even in areas Rural can not normally see 2,0003,000 stars. The Milky Way can be seen by most in the eastern United States, even when it is moonlight in the darkness.

The quality of the night sky in the park and its growing popularity to observe the stars are the result several factors. Cherry Springs is in the midst of 000,262 acres under-developed (106,000 ha) Susquehannock State Forest, and is at a height of 2,300 feet (701 m) above sea level. Because it is on the Allegheny Plateau, there are no peaks of mountains to block the sky, and the field of astronomy offers 360 degrees of view. The city is Williamsport, 60 miles (97 km) south-east. Surrounding communities sit in deep valleys intervening Displays a large part of the light they produce, the park skyglow not artificial in any direction. Cherry Springs is generally free Fog and latitude it is well positioned to observe the galactic center galaxy. The distance also means that there is little commercial air traffic from interfering with astrophotography, while Route 44 continues to offer an AP relatively easy access to Interstate Park 80.

In addition to these natural factors, much has been done on purpose to make the sky light and dark park and allows them to stay that way. In the park, the old power lines were buried as not to obscure the view, all the lights are protected, and all the white lights were turned red, which has the least effect on night vision and astrophotography. The light is blocked by vehicles by mounds of earth covered with grass or shrubs and trees and the gate of the field of astronomy has a special fabric light blocking. Dark Sky Park Fund has paid for many of these improvements since 1999.

Two of the three domes of the astronomy park, the walls to keep the wind moving over the observation telescopes

Since acquiring the 2006 Cherry Springs Airport, a new public course schedule has been established in the previous track. This field is north-east of Route RAP 44 and is for educational or stars, but for those who spend the night. During the night, and observers with large telescopes, astronomy use Southwest on the ground of the road. overnight visitors can use flashlights with red filters, and can be directed towards the earth. The field of astronomy has restrictions on the lights and parts of the park are areas of clear span.

To help preserve dark skies at Cherry Springs State Park Tri-County Rural Enterprise wiring outside light light shield caps in local homes for free. In 2001, Pennsylvania, General Assembly adopted the Law "lighting control outside, which created the park and Preserve "Dark Sky" and requires a minimum and protected in all new lighting fixtures have been to reduce light pollution. A design guide for the Pennsylvania Wilds region, including the park emphasizes the importance of maintaining the dark sky. The DCNR spent $ 396,000 in June 2007 to buy mineral rights under 1,980 acres (800 hectares) of park and forest state to avoid natural gas drilling and development partners there.

A wind farm was proposed on a site of 13.7 miles (22.0 km) from the park. In 2008, Potter County adopted an ordinance that clarifies the turbine does not "interfere with the state-designated Preserve Dark Skies at Cherry Springs State Park." That same year, commissioned a DCNR study on the impact of wind farm, which has concluded a red warning lights on the turbines would not affect the darkness of the sky and can be seen directly from the field of astronomy in unusual conditions. Other members of the astronomical community challenged these findings and the fear that the light new on the theme of "several dozen wind turbines near the park" degrade observations and astrophotography. The study also recommends that DCNR and redirect light shield near Denton Hill State Park Alpine Skiing make the sky darker at Cherry Springs.

Astronomical observations

Telescopes belonging to amateur astronomers await nightfall

The staff of Cherry Springs State Park had no intention of it becoming a magnet for amateur astronomers, astronomers came to them instead. In 1997 or 1998 Chip Harrison, the superintendent, he saw a man looking through a telescope in the park around 1 AM. When Harrison asked why the man had arrived, said astronomer who had noticed a black spot in the isolated North Central Pennsylvania in the satellite photos of the night. Cherry Springs State Park is located in the patch, some of the best places in the east of the Mississippi River to observe the stars.

A growing number of astronomers have begun to arrive at Cherry Springs, especially in the period of 14 days the dark sky around the new moon, between the last quarter phases of the first quarter. The park is open year and between 60 and 85 nights each year the best external conditions, when the scale shows the least visible star can vary from 7.1 7.5. Astronomy Park in the field has been updated to reflect these astronomers. In 2005, a rotation of 15 feet (4.6 m) frying dome of the Observatory, two 12-foot (3.7 m) domes of the roof, and a 10-by-12-foot (3.0 by 3.7 m) heaven shed were added and a small amphitheater for programs. The four telescopes to protect structures against wind and thermal currents. Concrete next year 4-6 filters feet (1.2 and 1.8 m) diameter were randomly placed in the field, and electrical pedestals, each with six retail outlets were added to the telescopes and computers. In 2009, the Wi-Fi has been added to astronomy on the ground.

While a typical night light can be 50 to 100 cases each year The park has two parts to both attract the stars of hundreds of astronomers from several nights. The Black Forest Star Party, hosted by the Central Pennsylvania Observer State College has been held every autumn since 1999. Cherry Springs Star Party, sponsored by the Astronomical Society of Harrisburg, has been held each June since 2005. It are also free public programs at the amphitheater on the site of the old airport, including some of the agenda of the Centre National Public Stars-n-Parks. Rainfall Meteor also attract the crowds and the northern lights can be seen from the park. Stargazing Business, "Spheres of crystal" has been established and this music, and stars, with a concert of one hour followed by one hour observation stars. These "nature tourism" has a good economic impact for the region.

Awards and recognition of the press came to Cherry Springs staff. BEMUS Thom, who initiated and coordinates the Stars-n-Parks has been DCNR awards in 2002 Volunteer of the Year. In 2007, Dark Sky Park environmental education programming and staff received the Award for excellence in programming Pennsylvania Recreation and Parks Society. Manager Operations Chip Harrison and his wife, Maxine, who runs the starry sky of the Fund, received a 2008 Award of the Pennsylvania Outdoor Lighting Council the "unwavering commitment and active promotion of the principles of responsible outdoor lighting at Cherry Springs State Park. DCNR The Cherry Springs was named one of the "must-vingt Pennsylvania State Parks", in particular for having the darkest skies on the East Coast in the night. Cherry Springs State Park published in the national press in 2003, as USA Today has named one of the places "10 Great for some stars in your eyes" in 2006, when National Geographic Adventure, which appears in "Pennsylvania: The Wild, Wild East" and in the New York Times in 2007. All these missions before he was appointed International Dark Sky Park by the International Dark-Sky Association in 2008.

Lumberjack Show

An event has seen loggers Show

Loggers Show attracts thousands of visitors to Cherry Springs State Park on the first weekend in August. It takes place every year since 1952, and was sponsored by the Rotary Club Galeton since 1987. In 2008, the events of deforestation in three days included fair cross, log rolling release from ax the horse that pulls the spring, cutting board, chopping block standing, a saw and competitions and demonstrations. The recess 2008 also show Featured story of life in a lumber camp, musical performances, and food vendors, craft and related equipment to the industry wood.

The show and events that celebrate the history of heavy Potter County have changed over time. In the early years, Work up to three mills have been created solely for the carnival and there was an associated Loggers Ball on the evening of Saturday, after the end of the carnival. Lumberjack show was the first woman in 1979. Some events have been tried and abandoned in 1987 a seminar hours on topics such as "mules outdoor adventure" and the first Loggers "Carnival Queen" were introduced, and in 1993 there were tractor pulling tractors lawn. In 1990, he changed the name of "Lumberjack Carnival" at the Lumberjack Show, "a third day was added, and an ecumenical service religions was held yesterday morning at the picnic pavilion. The next year, the show was part of the STIHL Timbersports Series and some of the competition was broadcast by ESPN. Although no longer part of the STIHL range, from 2008, many of these athletes have participated in the contest.

Participation of 4000 was the first year and increased to 12,000 three years later, in 1955, then reached up to 33,000 in 1962, with almost the same amount in 1965 (32.000) and 1981 (30,000). In 1983, 20,000 visitors attended the fair, 15,000 arrived in 1985 and for the assistance of the early 21st century was approximately 14,000. The entrance fee and cash prizes are awarded in competitions. Proceeds from the shows at Club Penn-York was promote the wood industry and wood industry support of Pennsylvania Museum of wood. Galeton Rotary Club has used funds to improve living standards in and around Galeton, including scholarships, a new roof for the building of community, support the local public library, and cleaning and maintenance of the center of the city.

Camping, picnicking and trails

The camp in the park, with picnic tables

Park has 30 campsites that can accommodate each tent or recreational vehicle (RV) up to 30 feet (9.1 m) long. The sites have a ring of fire suspension of the torch and a picnic table and are classified as rustic because no running water. The camp, which is south-east of Pennsylvania Route 44 is open from April to December and do not accept reservations. The park has two modern latrines, one in the camping area and one in the field of astronomy. It is also a holding tank dump station for recreational vehicles. Although the field of astronomy is not an official site, observers during the night can create tents and vehicles in which there are at camp. In addition to picnic tables and small flags in the camping area, picnic Main Cherry Springs is on the southwest side of Route 44 in and around the big story, a CCC pavilion. The area surrounding the flag has many picnic tables nic located in an old apple orchard and a large stand of white pine and Norway spruce.

State Park Cherry Springs is at the end South of a road 15-mile (24 km) long distance mountain bike, which starts at Denton Hill State Park and passes through Patterson State Park. In 2005, the beginning of the snowmobile trail in Cherry Springs was taken to the extreme south of the park to avoid the field of astronomy. The snowmobile trail is one many trails for skiing, hiking and off-road vehicles and riding in the surrounding Susquehannock State Forest. The 85-mile (137 km) Long Susquehannock Trail System passes near the park and loops around. South Park Trail crosses the area Hammersley Wild, 30,253 acres (12,243 ha) roadless wilderness area is the second in Pennsylvania.
