The Unique, Out-Of-The-Way Wild Area In Pennsylvania That’s Always Worth A Visit
Pennsylvania’s brimming with spectacular natural attractions. Some of those attractions, however, we may have never even heard of or even considered visiting, because they’re tucked away in a remote location. As the most remote spot in the state, Hammersley Wild Area in Pennsylvania is one such destination. It’s also one of the most stunning natural wonders in the state, making it more than worthy of a visit.
If you crave peace and quiet, you'll find no better or more beautiful spot than Hammersley Wild Area in Susquehannock State Forest in Austin.
The lush green wild area spans more than 30,000 acres of quiet. Except for the sound of wildlife and nature, don't expect to hear too much when you're in the wild area.
Motorized vehicles are forbidden in the wild area, and cell service can be unreliable. At any given time, you may find yourself as many as five miles from the nearest road.
Make sure you bring enough water, food, maps, and whatever other necessities you may need. Your best bet is to tell someone where you'll be, too, just in case you can't get cell service.
Hammersley Wild Area boasts three scenic trails, all of which are rated moderate and the shortest, the Twin Sisters Trail, tallies just under eight miles.
Don't forget your camera because, in addition to scenic vistas with spellbinding views, you'll cross footbridges, pass cascading streams, and wander through the forest.
