If you enjoy being outside and interacting with nature, you may discover how much you love the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. Located 25-30 minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike (or Route 422), you will travel on the meandering and country roads to your destination of rural Lebanon County. These rural routes consist of paved and unpaved roads, Mennonite buggies, sharp turns, blind hills, impaired people signs, and slow speed limits exist here. If you are accustomed to visiting places with a heavy retail and restaurant area, you may want to avoid this area altogether if you find nature to be underwhelming. This is because you will not find those food and retail reinforcements in this immediate area. Bring your own food and water. Bring along a bag to pack out the trash. Binoculars and scopes are useful here. A camera with a zoom lens is a must. Dogs are allowed. NO DRONES. Be mindful that you are enjoying nature alongside the Mennonite population. Out of respect, AVOID taking photos of them. This is a popular destination for birdwatching, especially February and March. Go to the web site and look at the live web cam centering on the migration of the snow geese, tundra swans, and Canadian geese. The Willow Point Trail is where you may access a close view of these birds. The best time to go is during the sunrise and sunset. Enjoy looking at the multiple lift-offs. Be prepared to walk a couple of miles to get to this destination, as parking is limited. Port-a-potties are available, as are picnic tables and a pavilion. During February and March, THOUSANDS of birdwatchers are going to descend upon the scene. This is an opportunity for you to deepen your knowledge of birds. Many videos centering on the migration are found on You Tube as well. The driving route opens in March. The Visitor’s Center is beautiful and informative.

Take a hike rough terrain wonderful views climb boulders. Stream bed can be muddy. Most of the trail climbs over roots and rocks. Taking upper trail quickest way to river.

We did the entire trail to the end and looped back on the rail trail. You can make it longer if you like with the loops that weave in/out of the main trail. Great no matter what the season - unbeatable scenery and quiet.
