Hickory Creek Wilderness, Wilderness area in Warren County, Pennsylvania.
The 8,663-acre protected zone contains northern hardwoods and hemlock forests, with elevation ranging from 1,273 to 1,900 feet across rolling terrain.
The Pennsylvania Wilderness Act of 1984 established this conservation area as one of only two designated wilderness zones in the Allegheny National Forest.
The land management follows strict preservation principles, prohibiting motorized vehicles and mechanical equipment to maintain natural environmental conditions.
Visitors can explore the 12-mile Hickory Creek Trail loop, which offers both day hiking and overnight backpacking opportunities through moderate terrain.
East Hickory and Middle Hickory Creeks support populations of native brook trout, while black bears, deer, and barred owls inhabit the surrounding forest.
