waters of Bear Run and Laurel Run - to a spectacular Youghiogheny
River gorge overlook.

in any season of the year. You may use the trails for hiking, nature
study, photography, backpack camping, ski touring-or just to he
alone for awhile. For nature buffs, Bear Run Nature Rreserve offers
an ideal setting.
This natural area is owned and protected by the Western Pennsylvania
Conservancy. WPC hopes you will enjoy your visit to Bear Run Nature
Reserve and asks that you help protect its natural beauty by leaving
