State Game Lands Number 58

State Game Lands Number 58 is a wildlife management area spanning about 12,600 acres (5,100 hectares) of forested mountains, streams, and natural habitats in northeastern Pennsylvania. The property has multiple access points from township roads and includes a long hiking trail that reaches up to a fire tower.

These lands were established as part of the Pennsylvania Game Commission's strategy to protect over 1.5 million acres of wildlife habitat across the state. The acquisition happened over time to create connected spaces where animals could move and thrive.

Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts use these grounds year-round during regulated seasons for deer, bear, wild turkey, and grouse. The place holds importance for local communities as a key recreation area woven into the region's way of life.

Multiple township roads lead to parking areas where you can access trails throughout the grounds and reach the fire tower. Come prepared for uneven ground, wet spots, and seasonal changes, especially during active hunting periods.

These lands contain three of only a handful of public forest tracts within the Catawissa Creek watershed, forming an ecological corridor from Moosic Mountain down to the Susquehanna River. This connection makes the area a key pathway for wildlife movement across the broader region.
