Eleven Mile Rd Sites — Susquehannock State Forest

The Susquehannock State Forest is one of the largest and most remote state forests in Pennsylvania. If you enjoy the outdoors and getting away from it all this may be the place for you. The Susquehannock offers hiking trails, mountain biking trails, ATV trails, Horseback riding trails, snowmobile trails and XC ski trials. We also have some of the best native trout fishing in PA. We are a headwaters area and all of our headwaters streams are native brook trout waters. We also have some great hunting on the Susquehannock from large game like bear, turkey and deer to small game such as grouse, squirrels and rabbits. We offer primitive camping with no amenities for both tent and rv‘s.
