Bucktail State Park Natural Area, Natural park in Cameron and Clinton Counties, United States.
The park stretches for 75 miles along Pennsylvania Route 120, connecting the towns of Emporium and Lock Haven through forested valleys and mountainous terrain.
Pennsylvania Legislature designated this area as a state park in 1933, preserving an ancient Native American path between the Susquehanna and Allegheny rivers.
The name commemorates the Civil War Pennsylvania Bucktails Regiment, which departed from Driftwood in April 1861 to serve in the Union Army.
Visitors should obtain permission before entering private properties within the park boundaries, as substantial portions of the 16,433 acres remain privately owned.
The river valleys within the park create natural gathering spots for wildlife, including elk, osprey, white-tailed deer, and black bears.
