Snyder Middleswarth Natural Area, National Natural Landmark in Spring Township, Pennsylvania.
The 500-acre natural area contains a forest of hemlock, pine, and birch trees, with some specimens reaching heights of 150 feet.
The state acquired this land in 1902, establishing it as Pennsylvania's ninth state park in 1921 before changing its designation in the 1990s.
The natural area bears the names of Simon Snyder, a Pennsylvania governor, and Ner Alexander Middleswarth, a state senator from Snyder County.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, including the Swift Run Trail and Hemlocks Trail, along with picnic facilities at Rock Springs.
A fallen tree discovered in this protected forest revealed an age of 347 years, demonstrating the longevity of the area's ancient vegetation.
