SUMMARY

The Algerine Wild Area is located in Pennsylvania's Loyalsock State Forest and offers visitors a beautiful and secluded wilderness experience. The area encompasses over 3,000 acres and is home to a diverse range of wildlife including black bears, bobcats, and bald eagles.

One of the main draws to the Algerine Wild Area is the hiking opportunities. There are numerous trails that wind through the forest, including the Old Loggers Path which is a 27-mile loop trail. Hikers can also see unique geological formations such as the Twin Sisters, a pair of large rocks that appear to be guarding the entrance to a cave.

Other points of interest in the Algerine Wild Area include the impressive waterfalls of Ketchum Run and Rock Run, as well as the scenic vistas from the top of Smith Knob and Peterson Lake. The area is also popular with hunters and fishermen, with ample opportunities for both.

Interesting facts about the Algerine Wild Area include its history as a logging site in the late 1800s, and the fact that it was designated a Wild Area by the state of Pennsylvania in 1985 to preserve its natural beauty.

The best time of year to visit the Algerine Wild Area is in the fall when the leaves are changing colors, or in the spring when the wildflowers are in bloom. However, visitors should be prepared for the possibility of encountering ticks and other pests during the warmer months.
