Pennsylvania County

Forest County, Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's least populous county and the Allegheny National Forest - from Tionesta's courthouse serving fewer than 7,500 residents to the Allegheny National Forest's 513,000 acres covering virtually the entire county, the Heart's Content Scenic Area's old-growth hemlock and beech forest, and a genuinely wild Pennsylvania landscape where forest wildlife populations vastly outnumber permanent residents.
