Quebec Run Wild Area, Protected forest area in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Description
Quebec Run Wild Area is a protected forest on the eastern slope of Chestnut Ridge, featuring creeks, walking paths, and thick woods. The land contains multiple water sources and several entry points for people who want to explore on foot.
History
The area was documented in 1767 by surveyor Charles Mason during the Mason-Dixon line survey, when he noted American chestnut and hemlock forests. Those records show what trees once dominated the land before modern times.
Culture
The forest district maintains the natural state of the land since 1972, prohibiting permanent developments to preserve its undeveloped character.
Practical
Access is available through four different entry points that lead to walking trails and forest roads. Visitors should wear proper footwear and be prepared for uneven ground.

Barton's Cave, a limestone formation in the Quebec Run watershed, serves as a winter shelter for bats. The cave shows how the ecosystem supports different species throughout the year.
