Catch a Sunset on Bear Wallow Pond

Forksville, Pennsylvania

Description

Bear Wallow Pond is a beautiful place for a peaceful and relaxing float in nature.

Bear Wallow Pond is classified as a 22 acre lake in Sullivan County, Pennsylvania found on some mountain roads. It is small, but still big enough to explore around and enjoy a relaxing paddle through lily pads.

There is an easy access boat launch to launch your kayak or canoe and descent size parking lot with bathrooms near by. The area is isolated and very peaceful in the evening. Although there is no camping at the lake itself, there are some nearby Loyalsock State Forest primitive campsites.

Hike to Mill Creek Falls in the Loyalsock State Forest

The Loyalsock State Forest is full of beautiful waterfalls and Mill Creek Falls is one of them. The 12 foot high falls is one of the smaller falls in the forest, but is still worth a visit as it sits in a beautiful grotto and contains a scenic plunge pool. I've also never seen another person in my trips down to the falls, despite it being a relatively easy hike. To get to the falls, it is a sho...
