State Game Lands Number 189

State Game Lands Number 189 is a protected wildlife area spanning about 170 hectares across Hanover and Independence Townships in Beaver County. The land features rolling terrain with forests and open spaces where visitors can observe wildlife in its natural setting.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission established this area as a protected wildlife zone during the 1970s as part of a broader conservation strategy. It remains part of the state's network of game lands dedicated to wildlife management and public outdoor use.

Pennsylvania residents maintain strong connections to outdoor traditions through designated hunting seasons and wildlife observation activities within these preserved natural spaces.

The main entrance is accessible from U.S. Route 30 on the southwest side, where parking is available. Visitors should respect current hunting seasons and come prepared for variable weather and forested terrain.

This protected area consists of two separate land parcels, with the smaller section positioned near Raccoon Creek State Park to form part of a larger wildlife corridor. This arrangement helps connect natural habitats across a wider region.
