 The park lies in
a cozy, steep-walled gorge carved by Rauchtown Run through the side of Nippenose
Mountain. A northern hardwood forest blankets the bottomland along this
spring-fed stream. Talus (rock) covered slopes and interesting rock formations
are interspersed among a stunted oak forest growing on the steep mountainsides
and ridges. This pretty valley is especially beautiful when the mountain laurel
blooms in late June and during the fall foliage of early October.
The 215,000-acre Tiadaghton State Forest nearly surrounds Ravensburg State
Park’s 78 acres. The state forest has hunting, fishing and wildlife watching. A
short drive away is Bald Eagle State Forest and the Mt. Logan and Rosecrans Bog
natural areas.For More Information Contact:
