Pine Lake Natural Area is a 67-acre (27 ha) protected area in Pike County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is part of Delaware State Forest.[1][2]
Description
The Natural Area was established to protect a small glacial lake surrounded by a bog of a type uncommon in Pennsylvania.[1] The area is known for colorful fall foliage thanks to a grove of tamarack trees, which are also relatively rare in Pennsylvania.[3] Botanists have identified 38 herbs growing in the area, including several species or cranberries and sedges.[2]
