Location
You can find Alleghany National Forest in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Because of its size, the forest has been segmented into two ranger districts with their own ranger stations: the more northern portion is referred to as Bradford (McKean County), and the southern part of the forest is known as Marienville (Forest County).
As Pennsylvania's only national forest, Allegheny provides a unique opportunity for travelling families to explore the gorgeous scenery the Keystone State has to offer. Here are just a few of the many activities you'll be able to enjoy when you visit Allegheny National Forest.
