For years, Pike County was one of Pennsylvania's least populated counties.  The rugged, rocky terrain, deep gorges, and miring swamps, made the county a less than hospitable place for farming.  As a result, the county was all but passed up by early settlers with only small communities developed at points strategic for trade.  It is the rugged and wet nature of the county that protected its ecosystems and now lures millions of visitors to look in awe at the waterfalls, breathtaking vistas, and wildlife.

This section of the Pike County Federation of Sportsmen's Club's website is designed to help you find and enjoy the natural beauty of  Pike County.  It is still in development and will be expanded from time to time.  Eventually we intend to include a list of areas, in which the public may observe unique natural features, interesting habitats, areas where the public may get involved with nature (trails, bird watching areas etc.), and narratives about some of the special species that make Pike County their home.  Keep visiting this site to find new features !
