A real map for people who love real-world experiences
The Pine Creek Lizard Map will help you plan all your adventures in and around the Pine Creek area from Wellsboro in the north to Jersey Shore in the south. This is one of Pennsylvania’s most popular 4-season destinations.
"I love your work. I use the Pine Creek map several times a week for mountain biking. I have lived in the area for 20 years now and thought I knew it all before I bought your map." Mitch
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), the Pine Creek Rail Trail, 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 1:51,800 (1 inch = 0.8 mile). Includes both lat./lon. and UTM coordinate systems.
Public land: most of Tioga and Tiadaghton State Forests, sections of Susquehannock, Sproul and Bald Eagle State Forests, State Game Lands 68, 75, 89, 208, 268, 313; Leonard Harrison State Park, Colton Point State Park, Little Pine State Park, Hyner Run State Park and Zindel Park.
Destinations: Hyner View and the hang gliding launch and landing areas, historic CCC camps, Farrandsville iron furnace, and ‘The Stretch” catch and release fly fishing section of Pine Creek, one of America’s leading fly fishing destinations.
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: the complete West Rim Trail, Tiadaghton Trail, 44-mile Black Forest Trail (considered to be one of the most difficult trails in PA), 50k Green Monster Trail. A section of the 90-mile Donut Hole Trail is shown from its southern end at Farrandsville to Hyner View State Park.

Remote backpacking campsites are shown on the Black Forest, West Rim and Mid State Trails. The MST continues south on the Purple Lizard Bald Eagle Lizard Map.

The Purple Lizard PA Wilds Pack
$45.00 $53.00
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.
