Cameron County sits in north central Pennsylvania within the Pennsylvania Wilds region, where vast stretches of state forest create one of the most remote and heavily wooded landscapes in the commonwealth. Forest County earns its name honestly, with vast stretches of woodland covering much of this sparsely populated corner of northwestern Pennsylvania. The county is home to portions of Allegheny National Forest, Cornplanter State Forest, and Clear Creek State Forest, creating a landscape defined by dense trees, remote trails, and abundant natural beauty. While Pennsylvania continues to monitor tick populations statewide, black legged ticks remain an important concern for people spending time outdoors. Visitors exploring Forest County’s backcountry can reduce their risk by staying on established trails, avoiding tall grassy areas, and wearing protective clothing when possible.
