With two million acres of natural landscape, tree-covered mountains, and rushing rivers, there's no doubt how Pennsylvania Wilds earned its moniker. Fortunately, it is now even easier to explore the gifts Mother Nature so generously endowed upon the region, as new attractions highlight the seemingly endless outdoor recreation opportunites.
Through a simple name, it aptly applies to the new nature facility at Sinnemahoning State Park: Wildlife Center. The $3.8 million, 9,300-square-foot center, complete with green features like geothermal heat and energy efficient lighting, offers educational opportunies, an artisan gallery and classroom, and meeting space. Of course, the center offers opportunities to view wildlife too. Watch for nesting bald eagles, elk nursing their calves, bobcats in the snow or roaming bears. f such wildlife sightings don't take your breath away, here's a view that's sure to. For years, visitors to Kinzua Gorge were limited to a Kinzua Bridge State Park overlook, but recently, the Kinzua Sky Walk, which uses remaining towers from a viaduct built in 1882, allows them to walk out 560 feet over the valley, stand on an octagonal platform and look through any of the 12 glass panels to see a 221-foot vertical drop into the gorge. Talk about breathtaking!
