State Game Lands Number 203

State Game Lands Number 203 is a 500-acre forest area northwest of Pittsburgh divided into two separate parcels with varying terrain. The property includes dedicated shooting ranges with targets at multiple distances and accessible parking for all visitors.

The property was officially registered with the Geographic Names Information System in 1990 by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. This designation established formal protection for wildlife conservation in the area.

These lands support hunting traditions that have long been important to communities in the region during regulated seasons. Visitors come to pursue white-tailed deer, pheasants, rabbits, and other game following established rules and practices.

The two parcels require some planning since they are geographically separate with different access points. Visitors should check beforehand which section matches their activity interests and the current season.

The property straddles two different watersheds with East Branch Big Sewickley Creek on the western side and Yutes Run on the eastern portion. This geographic split creates distinct habitats and ecosystems within the same holdings.
