During the 1800’s Pennsylvania’s native elk population had been reduced to a small population mainly located in the north central mountains. Then by 1867, the last native elk was killed. Starting in 1913 the Game Commission began to restore elk in Pennsylvania so that today there are more than 600 – the largest herd in northeastern United States. Most times of the year are good to catch sight of these beautiful, massive animals in the wilds, but the best times of the day are early morning and late in the day, just before dark.

Clinton County is fortunate to have more than 65 miles of the 240 mile West Branch Susquehanna River that flows through it. Canoes and kayaks have access points located in Keating, Renovo, North Bend, Hyner, Lock Haven (Woodward Twp.), and Pine. Spring and early summer offer the best time for ‘Paddling the Wilds’ in Clinton County. Typically water levels drop as we move closer to summer. The Tidlow Dam located at Lock Haven provides a water pool deep enough to operate outboard power boats throughout the summer. Many reaches of the West Branch Susquehanna are remote and are flanked by steep mountains that will add excitement to your river paddling experience.
