Wykoff Run Natural Area, State forest natural area in Gibson Township, Pennsylvania, United States.
The 1,215-acre protected landscape within Elk State Forest contains forested terrain, hiking trails, and two waterfalls along Wykoff Run Road.
From 1955 to 1960, the site operated as a research facility for Curtiss-Wright Corporation, featuring two jet engine testing cells.
The natural area received its current name in the 2010s to honor Maurice K. Goddard's dedication to Pennsylvania wilderness management.
Located near Sinnemahoning and Driftwood, the area offers year-round access and a 4.8-mile hiking loop for outdoor recreation enthusiasts.
