Big Arnot Run

Big Arnot Run is a major and highly scenic tributary of the Tionesta Creek, known for its series of small, picturesque cascades and its status as a premier cold-water fishery. Winding through a deep, boulder-strewn valley, the run provides critical habitat for native brook trout and is a favored destination for "blue-lining" anglers seeking solitude. The surrounding landscape is dominated by ancient hemlocks and massive rock outcroppings, creating a cool, damp environment that supports a rich diversity of mosses, ferns, and forest-interior bird species.
