Tracy Ridge Wilderness Area

Spanning over 9,000 acres, the Tracy Ridge Wilderness Area is the largest roadless tract in the Allegheny National Forest. It is a haven for primitive recreation, offering over 30 miles of interconnected hiking trails that traverse high ridges and deep valleys along the reservoir's edge. It provides a vital corridor for the North Country National Scenic Trail and is a designated National Recreation Area. Its lack of motorized access ensures a quiet habitat for black bears, wild turkeys, and the rare solitude prized by wilderness enthusiasts.
