Beaver Run Dam Wildlife Viewing Area

Beaver Run offers excellent viewing at a shallow water impoundment with a field that provides high-quality forage for elk in the Moshannon State Forest. This site offers alternative wildlife viewing during the day for waterfowl, wading birds, deer and songbirds. Ample parking provides access to several hiking trails, where the quiet hiker may be rewarded with the sight of wild elk. In spring, warblers and passerines can be seen in migration. Nesting birds include Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Hermit Thrush and Ovenbird.
