Loyalsock State Forest Advisories
Camping and Fuelwood Permits
Remote fulfillment of camping and fuelwood permits can be accommodated by contacting the
Loyalsock State Forest district office. Relevant forms will be provided and electronically submitted via email.
Avoid Active Construction Zones
State forest visitors are reminded that it is unlawful and dangerous to enter active construction zones. Construction zones are clearly defined and public entry is prohibited. Construction work areas include:
General Road Closures
Unplanned road closures for maintenance activities and weather emergencies can occur throughout the year, so calling or emailing in advance of your visit to the Loyalsock State Forest is always a good idea. Contact the
Resource Management Center for updates at 570-946-4049.
Other road maintenance projects which don't require a road closure also occur throughout the year. For your safety and the safety of our workers, please observe and obey traffic signage.
Don’t Move Firewood
To help protect the forest from invasive insects that can kill trees and devastate the ecosystem, please do not transport firewood over long distances. Firewood can harbor insects such as emerald ash borer and spotted lanternfly.
Cut or purchase your firewood where you intend to burn it, and be sure to burn it all in the locale where it was cut or bought.
