Hunting in Loyalsock State Forest
Hunting for deer, turkey, grouse, squirrels, and black bear is a popular use of the forest during designated seasons. Other than a few safety zones around buildings and picnic areas, hunting is permitted throughout the state forest. The Resource Management Center near Laporte serves as a bear check station and the forest district has excellent black bear habitat. Additional information on hunting can be obtained from the
Pennsylvania Game Commission or the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
