Tuscarora State Forest, Protected forest in Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania.
The 95,780-acre forest spans across Cumberland, Franklin, Huntingdon, Juniata, Mifflin, and Perry counties, featuring oak and hemlock forests with steep rocky ridges.
The forest received its name from Tuscarora Mountain, which honors the Iroquois-nation tribe that inhabited the region before European settlement.
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources manages the forest according to ecosystem principles, maintaining both environmental and recreational functions.
Visitors can access 157 miles of forest roads, 178 miles of hiking paths, and 100 miles of snow-machine trails throughout the forest grounds.
Two municipal watersheds within the forest provide water supply to Mifflin and Mifflintown, while researchers monitor golden eagle migration along its ridges.
