## Overview

Farnsworth Cabin is tucked away in the northwest portion of Pennsylvania's
Allegheny National Forest. Built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation
Corps, the stone cabin is conveniently located 8.5 miles northwest of
Sheffield. It was renovated in 2010 and now provides a variety of modern
amenities, including electricity and heating, as well as telephone service,
Direct TV, and internet. Visitors to the area enjoy fishing, hunting and
viewing wildlife.  
  
The cabin can be accessed by vehicle, however mud during the rainy seasons can
inhibit road travel. They should be aware of current weather conditions and
the weather during their stay. Guests are responsible for their own travel
arrangements and safety, and must bring some of their own supplies.

## Recreation

A dam was also built at the hatchery in the 1930s, to slow and divert water
flowing in the stream to the concrete raceways and ponds to provide cold water
habitat to raise young trout fingerlings. Although fishing is not permitted in
the hatchery ponds or raceways, nearby Farnsworth Stream is stocked and
fishing is permitted. Guests are expected to respect the trout hatchery.
Absolutely no fishing in the ponds or raceways. The trout can be viewed, but
nothing should be disturbed. The Hickory Creek Wilderness Area is just a few
miles from the cabin. Chapman Lake in Chapman State Park, which is adjacent to
the forest, Allegheny River and Tionesta Creek are also within a short
distance of the cabin. Hunting on the area's ample public lands is also
enjoyed by visitors to the area.

## Facilities

The two-bedroom cabin is fully accessible and includes a kitchen, living room
and bathroom. Two queen-size beds, two sets of bunks and a sofa sleeper are
provided with mattresses, to accommodate up to eight people. The kitchen has a
refrigerator with freezer, a microwave, basic pots and pans, cooking and
eating utensils, dishes, a small crock pot and a coffee maker. A table, chairs
and other seating throughout the house is also provided.  
  
  
  
The cabin is equipped with electricity and electric forced air heating. There
is a television and dvd player, along with Direct TV. Wireless internet is
also available. An electric fireplace is also provided. The cabin has running
water and indoor plumbing, including hot and cold running water, a flush
toilet and shower.  
  
  
  
Outside is a yard with a fire ring, picnic table, outdoor furniture and a
charcoal grill. Guests are required to clean the cabin, including dishes and
floors, and carry out all trash prior to leaving. Basic cleaning supplies and
equipment are available at the cabin.  
  
  
  
Guests will need to bring their own bedding, pillows, bath and kitchen towels,
dish soap, food and beverages, including coffee supplies, garbage bags and
other necessities. While the cabin can accommodate up to eight people, it more
comfortably suits four to six people.

## Natural Features

The cabin is set in a partially shaded area that has black cherry and beech
trees, scattered hemlock and clumps of oak, maple and birch. In the nearby
Hickory Creek area, there is an understory of abundant wildflowers, ferns,
shrubs and mosses. Large white pine can be found scattered in open areas.  
  
Bears, deer, turkeys, barred owls, and pileated woodpecker are common in the
area. Small native brook trout can be found in the Farnsworth Stream, as well
as other area creeks and streams, of which there are plenty.

## Overview

Hearts Content Campground is a semi-primitive family campground bordering the
Hickory Creek Wilderness Area and surrounded by native hardwoods and a patch
of planted pine forest. There is a large open field and amphitheater that is
suitable for other games near the campground entry, and another large field at
the back of the campground that serves as both group camping sites and a
helispot. Hearts Content Campground is operated under a concession permit by
Allegheny Site Management.

## Recreation

Cross-country Ski Trail: This 6.4 mile (10.5 km) trail utilizes old railroad
grades, roads and existing trails to form several loops for your skiing
pleasure. The Wheeler Loop Trail goes through the campground and connects to
the Tom's Run and Ironwood trails in the Hearts Content Scenic Area. These
trails are marked with blue plastic diamonds on the trees. Hickory Creek
Wilderness: The trailhead is located approximately 1/4 mile north of the
campground entrance. This 8,663-acre area provides opportunities for solitude
and a primitive and unconfined type of recreation as a refuge from our highly
modified and technological world. No motorized equipment of any kind and no
mechanical transports are permitted. A 13-mile loop hiking trail weaves its
way through the rolling terrain, climbing in and out of the valleys. It is
sparsely marked and maintained to promote a feeling of wildness and the
unknown. It may not be suitable for novice hikers - please know your
limitatons and do not add markings to help with way-finding. Orienteering
Course: Enjoy this self-guided course that allows you or your group to follow,
at your leisure. It is a permanently marked route as an introduction to the
sport of orienteering. It starts in the Hearts Content Scenic Area.

## Facilities

Each of the 26 family campsites contains a picnic table, fire ring and tent
pad/RV spur. Two sites also have lean-to shelters. Vault toilets and
pressurized water are available. A dump station is located at the exit.
There’s lots of open area. Campsites can be reserved or available on a first-
come, first-served basis only.

## Natural Features

North of the campground, Hearts Content National Scenic Area is located next
to the picnic area across the road. Here stands the remnants of a 300 to 400
year old stand of white pine, hemlock, and beech. Time, insects, and disease
are changing the look and nature of this stand. The Interpretive Old Growth
Trail starts at the north end of the east side parking lot and winds about one
mile through the timber stand before returning to the picnic area. All
facilities in the day use area are universally accessible to people with
disabilities. Facilities include a picnic area, pavilions, toilet and
interpretive materials.  
  
South of the campground is Hickory Creek Wilderness, an 8,633 acre second-
growth forest of dense trees and ferny undergrowth. This area is managed to
let natural processes determine what it will be in the future. Wind, insects,
disease, and drought are all shaping the species composition of the trees and
understory, which will in turn determine what species of wildlife will inhabit
this area. A roughly 14-mile trail traverses the plateau of the area, with the
trailhead located approximately 1/4 of a mile north of the campground
entrance. The trail is only occasionally marked and may not be suitable for
novice hikers.

LOLETA RECREATION

Loleta Recreation

## Overview

Buckaloons Campground sits at the confluence of the Allegheny River,
Brokenstraw Creek and Irvine Run in northwestern Pennsylvania. This 61-site
campground offers access to the Allegheny Wild & Scenic River and
opportunities for boating, fishing, wildlife watching, and relaxing in a
quiet, country atmosphere.

## Recreation

Water activities are a big draw to Buckaloons Recreation Area, including
canoing, kayaying, rafting, and boating. The boat ramp provides easy access to
the river. Buckaloons is the beginning of the second designated National Wild
and Scenic RIver segment of the Allegheny River. The first segment is from
Kinzua Dam to the Route 6 Glade Bridge on the east side of Warren, PA. The
second segment runs from Buckaloons campground to Alcorn Island just upstream
of Oil City, PA, a distance of nearly 50 miles. In this segment are the 6
islands of the Allegheny Islands Wilderness as well as many other publicly and
privately owned islands. Several public boat launches are located within this
segment to help you decide on the length of trip that's right for you. The
Allegheny is a "family-friendly" river, with little to no whitewater - perfect
for beginners or a lazy day of floating. Hunting, fishing, and trapping are
permitted in the areas around the campground, subject to rules of the
Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission.
Fishing includes walleye, trout, and bass. There is also hiking along the
Seneca Interpretive Trail within the campground or at nearby Anders Run
Natural Area.

## Facilities

Buckaloons Recreation Area offers family campsites, double sites and a group
tent site. Amenities include both flush and vault toilets, a pressurized water
system, hot showers, a dump station and electric hookups.  
  
  
  
There is a one-lane concrete boat launch, a picnic area with tables and
charcoal grills, pavilion, basketball court and playground. Hardened paths
lead to fishing opportunities on the Allegheny River, Brokenstraw Creek and
Irvine Run.

## Natural Features

Once the site of an Indian trading post, the Buckaloons Recreation Center has
numerous apple trees through the area, as well as mixed hardwoods. Water-
loving species such as sycamore, willow, alder, silver maple, and butternut
are frequent components of the riverine forest. Blue and green herons, bald
eagles, egrets, and a variety of smaller birds can be seen along the Allegheny
RIver. The Allegheny is classified as a warm-water fishery, but some cold-
water species thrive as well. Freshwater mussels are abundant in species and
number and indicate the high water quality of this river. Deer, bear, turkey,
and squirrels are common, along with a variety of smaller mammals such as
raccoon, opossum, and muskrat.

Allegheny River

## Overview

Kiasutha Campground sits on the Kinzua Arm of the Allegheny Reservoir in
northwest Pennsylvania, offering countless water activities.

## Recreation

Visitors enjoy the large, grassy beach for swimming and relaxing. A boat ramp
and dock allow visitors to enjoy the vast lake for boating, and a paved trail
leads to an accessible fishing pier. Campsites offer a variety of views and
conditions, from shaded forest to views of the reservoir, primitive walk-in
camping or RV camping with electric hook-up. Some sites are back-in and some
are pull-through for easier access.

## Facilities

There are about 90 reservable family campsites, each containing a picnic
table, fire ring and tent pad. The loop roads are paved. Amenities include
flush toilets, drinking water, hot showers, a dump station and amphitheater.  
  
  
  
The beach and picnic area have a capacity of 900 people. The grounds also
include parking facilities and a bathhouse. Firewood, ice, interpretive
services and 24-hour campground attendants are offered at the site.

## Natural Features

The Allegheny National Forest covers nearly half a million acres and is
populated primarily with black cherry, maple and other hardwoods. The Kinzua
Dam, built in 1965, impounds the Allegheny River to form the 25-mile-long
Allegheny Reservoir. Since Kinzua Creek flowed into the Allegheny RIver, a
part of it is also impounded, creating the Kinzua Arm. It is a little narrower
than the main Allegheny Reservoir, allowing for a little more intimate
connection between water and shore, and is not as subject to weather as the
more open main reservoir. This campground sits on forested hills off the
Longhouse Scenic Byway, a 29-mile loop that circles the Kinzua Creek Arm of
the Allegheny Reservoir.

## Nearby Attractions

The Kinzua Dam and Bridge are within driving distance.

<h2>Natural Features</h2>
The Allegheny National Forest covers nearly half a million acres and is populated primarily with black cherry, maple and other hardwoods. The Kinzua Dam, built in 1965, impounds the Allegheny River to form the 25-mile-long Allegheny Reservoir. Since Kinzua Creek flowed into the Allegheny RIver, a part of it is also impounded, creating the Kinzua Arm. It is a little narrower than the main Allegheny Reservoir, allowing for a little more intimate connection between water and shore, and is not as subject to weather as the more open main reservoir.
  
This campground sits on forested hills off the Longhouse Scenic Byway, a 29-mile loop that circles the Kinzua Creek Arm of the Allegheny Reservoir.

<h2>Nearby Attractions</h2>
The Kinzua Dam and Bridge are within driving distance.
