This place has a PA Game Commission hunting access cooperator sign on the post ,but the Area keeps getting brush hogged to bare earth usually at spring nesting time or before fall hunting seasons, it has no wildlife habitat plan in place! This WAS a great bird-watching and wild flower area in the past, but no longer. So much better when it was left alone.Mostly used as a staging point for fracking and a dump site 4 road work projects. No Recreation to be had here .Update: FYI! area is being called rocky bend nature preserve,they partnered up with game commission to use them a FREE security even though no hunting opportunities are available here.They are fining everyone for any and all infractions especially parking and curfew violations of dawn to dusk park hours
