Moshannon State Forest, State forest in Clearfield and Centre counties, Pennsylvania.
Moshannon State Forest encompasses 190,031 acres of land on the Allegheny Plateau, containing varied ecosystems of wetlands and mixed hardwood forests.
The forest establishment in the 1930s followed extensive logging operations during the late 19th century, when lumber companies cleared the original old-growth trees.
The name Moshannon originates from Native American words 'Moss-hanne', meaning moose stream, reflecting the historical presence of these animals in the region.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, including the Quehanna Trail, while facilities for camping, fishing, and hunting spread throughout the forest grounds.
The forest experienced a significant natural event in 1985 when an F4 tornado destroyed 88,000 trees, reshaping parts of the landscape.
