For long-range shooters, ridge-top setups with shooting benches allow for distances up to 600 yards, while wooded cover provides ample opportunities for archery. Whitetail deer, turkey, bear, and small game are abundant. Conveniently located only 15 minutes from I-80, the property is just 30 miles from State College, 2 hours to Harrisburg, and about 2.5 hours from Lancaster County, making it accessible while still offering privacy and seclusion.
