BIG MOUNTAIN SCRAMBLE
About Weiser State Forest
The Roaring Creek tract is a jewel of Columbia and Northumberland counties and eastern Pennsylvania recreation. The Pennsylvania property was acquired by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 2003 from Aqua Pennsylvania and has been in a process of restoration to serve the public. It also continues as a high quality water supply. The natural beauty of Roaring Creek lies in the creek valley bounded on either side by parallel mountain ridges, Big Mountain on the south and Little Mountain on the north.
Recreation opportunities include hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, hunting, fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and nature study. This is also coal country, and many trails in the Roaring Creek were used by miners daily to get from their homes to the mines.resence of a line of 60+ windmills located on Big Mountain supplying green wind energy.
