The Wildlife Center at Sinnemahoning State Park - Austin, Pennsylvania
In 2011, this visitor center and park office opened in the northern section of the park. The 9300 square foot facility provides office space, improved visitor services and a gallery of interactive exhibits that will help connect the visitor to the park and the PA Wilds region.
Sinnemahoning State Park is in the “heart” of the PA Wilds region, which is comprised of wild, natural areas from 13 counties in the northern tier of Pennsylvania. It includes 29 state parks and 1.5 million acres of state forest and state game lands. The park is surrounded by the Elk, Susquehannock and Sproul state forest districts. . The wildness of the area is an important draw as it provides an abundance of wildlife watching opportunities from elk to otters and an outstanding variety of birdlife.
