State Game Lands Number 147, Wildlife conservation area in Blair County, Pennsylvania.
State Game Lands Number 147 is a wildlife conservation area covering approximately 6,100 acres across multiple hills in Blair County. The land consists mainly of deciduous forests with varying elevations that provide habitat for diverse animal species.
The land was established as part of a restoration program when wildlife populations had declined severely in the late 1800s. The Pennsylvania Game Commission worked to rebuild natural habitats and develop hunting grounds on a sustainable basis.
Local residents maintain connections to these lands through seasonal hunting traditions, nature observation activities, and outdoor recreational pursuits throughout the year.
Access to the grounds comes through various roads, including Pennsylvania Route 866 running through the area. Visitors should check local regulations for hunting seasons and use rules, as these vary by time of year.
The area is divided into four separate parcels spread across five different townships. This fragmented layout creates multiple access points and allows visitors to explore several different landscape zones.
