Sugar Grove Petroglyphs

The site features 48 distinct petroglyphs carved into Dunkard sandstone, including abstract designs, birds, footprints, human figures, and animal tracks.

Native Americans created these petroglyphs during the Woodland period, with the site being first documented in scholarly literature around 1931.

The carvings reveal patterns of indigenous artistic expression, including a notable circular figure measuring 5 feet in diameter that depicts an animal swallowing its tail.

Located off Pennsylvania Route 88, northwest of Whiteley Creek bridge, the site covers 404 acres of private land within heavily forested territory.

This location represents one of only four documented petroglyph sites in Pennsylvania, preserved due to its elevated position above flood-prone areas.
