If you live anywhere near northwestern Pennsylvania then I'm sure you are familiar with the Allegheny National Forest. This 513,000 acre forest is a true gem of the Allegheny Plateau. It contains the Allegheny Reservoir and hundreds of miles of streams. It is known for cherry trees, hemlock and a couple stands of "virgin" forest.
One of these virgin areas is in the Heart's Content Recreation Area. The HCRA contains a one mile interpretive trail that winds through the old growth forest. (I believe the "interpretive" part means that there are a few signs along the trail.) The HCRA borders along the Hickory Creek Wilderness, an 8,660 acre wilderness designated area.
