The Loyalsock - Worlds End Lizard Map will help you plan all your adventures in and around Loyalsock State Forest from Williamsport to Worlds End State Park. This is one of the most popular 4-season State Parks in Pennsylvania.
"Thank you so much for the latest Loyalsock Lizard Map and the Adventure List :) It has already enabled me to squirm my way into a good little wild trout stream in Lycoming County that I was unable to find a legal way in prior from another direction. I am finding more and more value in your maps primarily because you have updated trails, and have added new trails, that may not show on even the latest USGS topos" -John in PA
A beautifully designed, easy to read topographic map featuring contour lines, elevation data, shaded relief, and all the key details you need to plan your adventures: backroads and trails, trail use designations, road surfaces (paved and dirt), the Loyalsock Trail and Old Loggers Path, parking access, campsites, public lands, historic sites and more.
Lizard Maps are durable, waterproof, and give you the big picture – the map opens to 24” x 36” and folds easily to 4” x 8” to fit in your back pocket. The scale is 1:47,550 (1 inch = 3/4 mile). Includes both lat./lon. and UTM coordinate systems.

The Raised Fist is a universal symbol of solidarity and support for human rights. Originally used by Industrial Workers of the World in 1917, it has been used as a symbol of unity, strength, defiance and resistance by organizations and social movements across the globe.

We want everyone to be able to show their support for equality and human rights, and this is one small way we can contribute to move the conversations forward.
By proudly placing these stickers in the public eye you can help to keep this movement progressing forward - there is a lot of work to do.

Say hello to our little ditty bag! What is a ditty bag, you ask? It's just a simple bag to carry some of your stuff - we aren't here to micro-manage your personal organizational skills (or lack of).
The history of the ditty bag is steeped in sailors lore, some say the origin is 'ditto' bag because you can carry two of each essential item. In those days, needles and thread would be a common essential item to bring with you on a long voyage. These days, a back-up battery or a spare car key may be on your list. You can leave the sewing to our friends at Nittany Mountain Works. Made from 1000D Cordura Nylon, measuring 8" x 5" with a handy key clip to hook your ditty bag onto one of your larger bags, or a belt loop, or your actual keys.
Will a Lizard Map fit inside? Yes!
Made in Pennsylvania by real people working in a 100% solar powered building in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, right smack in the middle of the Moshannon-Quehanna Lizard Map! How cool is that? You can check them out here.

Fanny Pack fans rejoice! This custom built, purple and grey hip pack from our good friends at Nittany Mountain Works is the perfect companion for your explorations! The largest of the Lizard Hip Sacks, it measures 12" x 6" x 3.5", and easily converts to an over the shoulder sling pack.
Perfectly sized for a days rations on the trail or to keep some essentials on-board when wandering in the city. Large front pocket for quick access to a wallet and other often used items... like your Lizard Maps, which fit perfectly!
What can you carry in this very hip Hip sack? We stuffed it with a pile of things we often bring on a short hike. We put in 4 Lizard maps, a dog leash, a GPS unit, a bandana, an anti-COVID mask and pack of hand sanitizers, a little first aid kit, a Lizard Ditty Bag, some mints, car keys and wallet, a headlamp, and a cell phone. And when we got back we had added a cool turkey feather we found on the trail. (Just to be extra clear - none of this stuff comes with the Lizard Deluxe Hip Sack, you'll have to find your own turkey feather!)
Horizontal daisy chain spans front of pack for attaching things like carabiners or a blinky light for nighttime runs or rides. The elastic keeper loops on the waist strap keep the pack streamlined when in use. Mesh back panel keeps you cool. Made from 1000D Cordura Nylon.
Made in Pennsylvania by real people working in a 100% solar powered building in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, right smack in the middle of the Moshannon-Quehanna Lizard Map! How cool is that? You can check them out here.

North of Interstate 80 is a different place. It's often referred to as the PA Wilds, which we think is a pretty good description. There are less people, less pavement, more dirt roads and more wild places. We call that a fair trade. and it's where we'd rather be most days.
We've made three maps of Pennsylvania State Forests north of 80: Loyalsock, Pine Creek and Moshannon. Loyalsock includes all of the Loyalsock State Forest and McIntyre Wild Area, the Pine Creek Lizard Map covers much of Tioga and Tiadaghton State Forests, and Moshannon-Quehanna includes Moshannon State Forest and the Quehanna Wild Area with sections of Elk State Forest.
These three maps represent some of the wildest, most remote places you can find in PA, with just enough civilization and small towns to keep you well supplied and comfortable if you choose to emerge.
Purchased separately, these three maps are $51. The Purple Lizard PA Wilds Pack is $45 and you get one of our sweet DCNR Boundary Stickers along with the set.
As our friend Van Wagner tells it:
“North of 80 it ain’t the same.
I don’t know how else to put it to explain.
There’s a different tune in the air.
There’s a northern feel, that makes it real everywhere.”
Van Wagner: Singer, songwriter, teacher.

The Moshannon–Quehanna Lizard Map will help you plan all your adventures in and around Moshannon State Forest.
Never enter the woods without a Purple Lizard Map...not because you might get lost, but because they show you all the cool things you would otherwise miss! —Nate from PA
A beautifully designed, easy to read topographic map featuring contour lines, elevation data, shaded relief, and all the key details you need to plan your adventures: backroads and trails, trail use designations, road surfaces (paved/gravel/4wd), parking access, campsites, public lands, historic sites and more.
This is one map you are not going to be able to put down as you plan your PA Adventures, and if you want to find the elk herd this is the best map available!
The Moshannon–Quehanna Lizard Map covers such a large swath of the PA Wilds it needs two names for one map! Anchored with State College in the southeastern corner it almost reaches Saint Mary's in the northwest edge. The entire Moshannon State Forest is mapped, along with parts of Elk and Sproul State Forest. The Quehanna Wild Area is the crown jewel of the map, with the Elk Scenic Drive and the town of Benezette and the Elk Country Visitor Center along the northern edge.
Lizard Maps are durable, waterproof, and give you the big picture – the map opens to 24” x 36” and folds easily to 4” x 8” to fit in your back pocket. The scale is 1:60,000 (1 inch = 1 mile). Includes both lat./lon. and UTM coordinate systems.
Public land: over 200,000 acres of Moshannon State Forest, the Quehanna Wild Area and parts of Elk and Sproul State Forests across three counties in Pennsylvania including Black Moshannon, Parker Dam and S.B. Elliot State Parks, Bennett Branch Headwaters, parts of State Game Lands 33, 34, 78, 98, 100, 103, 331.
Destinations: Quehanna Wild Area, which is nearly 50,000 acres of protected land with an odd legacy of testing military jet engines as well as housing a nuclear reactor. The Elk Country Visitor Center and the Elk Scenic Drive attract visitors to watch the elk herd, especially during the rut season in fall.
Roads: all Lizard Maps show which roads are paved, dirt/gravel or 4wd roads as well as which are gated. Perfect for bicyclists, dual sport riders and overlanders looking to put together a remote backcountry route across public lands.
Major hiking trails: two long distance backpacking trails shown in their entirety: the 42-mile Allegheny Front Trail (AFT) and the 75-mile Quehanna Trail (QT), as well as the Quehanna Cross Connectors (East and West), with select backcountry campsites shown and every trail in between.
Major biking trails: Moshannon State Forest has miles of shared-use mountain bike trails, and the 13-mile Dimeling-Madera rail trail is a remote route that has not yet been ‘improved’ as a rail trail. The 10-mile Houtzdale Rail Trail is an improved surface trail.
"Your maps show more detail and share special things like no other maps or apps can do." - Todd in PA
Even more trails! Lizard Maps highlight and designate public trails and paths including hiking, biking, equestrian, skiing, snowmobiling and rail trails managed by federal, state and local authorities, including the Rockton Mountain trails, Fred Woods Trail, Thunder Mountain Equestrian Trail and the trails of Rock Run. The Snow Shoe Rail Trail is shown in its entirety, this is permit-required and open to motorized vehicles.
Points of interest: campgrounds, picnic areas, climbing areas, reservable car camping sites, scenic overlooks, observation towers and lizard spots.
Natural Areas and special designated areas: include the Quehanna Wild Area, Bucktail State Park Natural Area, MK Goddard Wykoff Run Natural Area, and Marion Brooks Natural Area which features 975 acres of white birch. For boaters, the put-in and take-out access areas of the West Branch of the Susquehanna River are shown from Clearfield to Karthus, PA. The Red and Black branches of Moshannon Creek (Red Mo) with access points and named rapids are illustrated.
Towns: Benezette, Clearfield, Driftwood, DuBois, Houtzdale, Karthus, Osceola Mills, Philipsburg, Snow Shoe, State College, and Weedville PA.
Lizards! The little purple Lizards you’ll find scattered on the map signify an interesting spot to check out. The Legend says “ This Could Mean Anything: cool place, sweet view, local legend”.
