Summer on Sterling Run
Sterling Run, now open to the public through a working forest conservation easement, offers high-quality streams for native brook trout fishing.

Sterling Run Working Forest Conservation Easement
The 9,200-acre Sterling Run tract is permanently conserved as working forestland open to the public for recreational opportunities under the terms of a working forest conservation easement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The land will continue to be privately owned, on the local tax roll, and managed for sustainable timber production.
