State Game Lands Number 158, Public hunting grounds in Cambria County, United States.
State Game Lands Number 158 covers rolling terrain with elevations between 1,160 and 2,640 feet, containing forests, meadows, and varied habitats for wildlife. The land is divided into management zones to monitor animal populations and protect different ecosystems.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission established this reserve in the early 1900s when wildlife populations had fallen dramatically due to overhunting. Acquiring and managing these lands became part of a large-scale effort to restore animal populations across the region.
The lands hold a strong place in Pennsylvania's hunting heritage, drawing people who come to observe wildlife and participate in seasonal hunting traditions. These activities shape how locals and visitors connect with the forest throughout the year.
Visitors need appropriate hunting or fishing licenses and should check local regulations for seasonal hunting periods and allowed species. The trails can be rough in places, so sturdy footwear and good navigation skills are helpful.
The area is shaped by multiple waterways including Moshannon Creek to the north and Clearfield Creek to the west, both flowing into the West Branch Susquehanna River system. These streams create varied habitats that support different fish and wildlife species.
