State Game Land (SGL) 195 is 3,483acres, located in southeastern Jefferson County,Pennsylvania Game Commission Northwest Region, Wildlife Management Unit 2E.

Access is via Filtering Plant Road, located just east of Big Run off of Route 219. Four parking areas are maintained and 10 miles of gated, interior roads are open to foot travel. The eastern and southern areas of the tract require almost 2 miles of walking from the established parking areas to reach them.

State Game Land 195 is within Wildlife Management Unit 2E. The diversity in habitat conditions provides good hunting and furtaking opportunities. Healthy turkey and deer populations attract a fair number of big game hunters. Abundant squirrel and moderate grouse numbers provide good small game hunting possibilities. Pheasant stocking also brings fall bird hunters. Fox, coyote, and raccoon trapping opportunities exist, although trapping pressure is light. Bird watching opportunities exist, but recreation is mainly limited to hunting, trapping, and fishing.

SGL 195 is mostly forested to the west and south with reclaimed and reverting surface mining land to the northeast. Clover Run is the major drainage. Soils are poorly drained and listed as poor, fair, or good for grain and grasses. Invasive species are a major problem in the strip-mined areas.

SPORTSMEN'S RECREATION MAP

Each time a hunter buys a hunting license, the

money he spends goes toward many facets of

wildlife management. Since 1920, close to a million

and a half aces of State Game Lands have been

acquired with these funds. Each year nearly

$7,000,000 is spent to improve wildlife habitat.

Habitat improvements enhance living conditions for

non-game birds and mammals as well as those

species which are hunted. Pennsylvania hunters

willingly share these lands with the non-hunting

public, and with few exceptions, State Game Lands

are open for general use year round. Surveys

indicate that hunting accounts for only thirty-five

percent of game land usage. The remaining sixty-

five percent is used by the general public for non-

hunting purposes.

“Working Together for Wildlife” is a Game

Commission program providing everyone an

opportunity to help support wildlife management in

the areas for endangered and non-game animals.

Monies derived from the “Working Together for

Wildlife” Program are being used in Pennsylvania to

re-introduce the osprey, river otter, bald eagle,

peregrine falcon and provide habitat for other birds

and mammals indigenous to the Commonwealth.

Construction placement of blue bird houses on State

Game Lands provides needed homes for this

beautiful songbird. Islands in the Susquehanna River

have been set aside as propagations areas for non-

game shore birds. Numerous other projects are

planned on State Game Lands and other public
