Pocono Forests and Waters Conservation Landscape - PA DCNR

The Pocono Forest and Waters Conservation Landscape covers two distinct areas in Pike, Monroe, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne, and Carbon counties.

Its rich and diverse past ranging from early Colonial settlements along the rivers and valleys to industrial development and outdoor leisure and vacation activities.

This landscape houses abundant natural resources — including the greatest concentration of wetlands in the state and large tracts of public and private forested lands, such as state and national forests and parks and private hunting clubs that were established in the past and still exist today.
