State Game Lands Number 55

State Game Lands Number 55 is a wildlife area in Columbia County comprising three forested ridges with open areas interspersed throughout. The terrain supports diverse animal populations and serves both hunting and nature observation activities.

The land preserves environments that sustained hunting and gathering practices for centuries among early inhabitants and settlers. This traditional use of the landscape continues to influence how the area is managed today.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission manages these lands to preserve traditional hunting practices while maintaining natural habitats for wildlife populations.

Access is available through multiple entry points along State Route 1025 and Pennsylvania Route 487. Visitors should follow marked trails and respect seasonal regulations that govern use throughout the year.

The property includes two managed food plots specifically designed to provide forage for deer and other wildlife species. These cultivated areas show how game lands are actively maintained to support natural populations.
