Hammersley Wild Area, Natural preserve in Potter County, Pennsylvania.
Hammersley Wild Area encompasses 30,253 acres of wooded valleys and plateaus across Potter and Clinton counties in north-central Pennsylvania.
The last timber harvesting in this area occurred around 1900, after which the land transformed into a mature second-growth forest.
The Susquehannock Trail System runs through the preserve for 10.78 miles, enabling visitors to connect with Pennsylvania's natural heritage.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the preserve, which offers opportunities for wildlife observation and nature photography.
This protected area holds the distinction of being the largest roadless territory in Pennsylvania, second only to Quehanna Wild Area.
