Pine
Creek Gorge is one of six National Natural Landmarks to be visited on
this tour of Pennsylvania old-growth forests.

the primary attraction of the area is the impressive size of the
deep, nearly straight gorge cut down about 1,000 feet by Pine Creek
into the flat-lying Paleozoic sedimentary rocks of the area.

The gorge is now covered with 100-year-old secondary
hardwood forest, having been largely cut over in the late 19th century.
Views from the two state-park overlooks at the north end of the gorge
give a good idea of what the original forest must have looked like to
early explorers, trappers and finally settlers.
