Tioga State Forest

Tioga State Forest derives its name from the Seneca phrase “meeting of two rivers.” It covers 161,890 acres in Bradford and Tioga counties. The forest hosts the Pine Creek Gorge, also known as the “Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.” Tioga features awe-inspiring views and miles of clean, cool streams, like Cedar Run and Babbs Creek and is one of eight state forests located in the PA Wilds region.

There really is nothing but wilderness down here, or as they might call it in NY, State Forest.

Another picture of Canyon Rims from Colton Point. A little different perspective can be pretty.

Grand Canyon Sign

This proves that the Pine Creek Gorge is really called the Grand Canyon. Also interestingly enough in this picture is several businesses, that use burn barrels for their trash. One also has a dumpster for the unburnables. Not something you would have seen in rural New York, at least any time recently.
