General Description: The Bald Eagle State Forest comprises about 195,624 acres and lies in the beautiful ridge and valley section of the state. Sandstone ridges with heights of 2,300 above sea level rise abruptly from the valley floors and extend in a northeasterly direction across the region. The many streams in the area have their origin in the forested ridges and flow in several directions eventually emptying into the beautiful Susquehanna River which winds through the valley and confluences at the districts' eastern boundary. The Bald Eagle State Forests' varied habitat plays host to all the major game species typically found in Pennsylvania, including deer, bear, wild turkey and other small game. There are four state parks located within the forest. Activities include: hunting, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, nature and A.T.V. trails.
The Trails: All state forest roads are open to mountain bikes. In addition, Bald Eagle State Forest features 25 off-road mountain bike trails. They are all located near R.B. Winter State Park, providing 48 miles of rideable trails -- with nearly 100 miles of connecting forest roads. These roads are mostly hard-packed dirt covered with loose stones. We have divided this article into into three sections : See each for maps and detailed trail descriptions.
