We call it "God's Countys." Vast tracks of forest lands where man is outnumbered by wildlike - herds of deer, flocks of turkeys, abundant bear and coyotes, and the lightning fast grouse that the Indians called "Thunder Birds." In autumn, the couty is ablaze in red and orange foliage. Our creeks and streams are teeming with wise, native trout. And in winter, the wild, white canopy is crisscrossed by skiers and snowmobilers. We welcome you to visit God's Country high up in nothern Pennsylvania. It's a little closer to heaven here!
