BirdTrout
184, Pennsylvania
4,607 acres of public ground, managed by PGC. 4 named streams run through it, of which 3 are designated trout water — 34.3 miles of it. It is in the state's huntable-land layer.
Open in BirdTrout50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands the app paints. The colour is PA DEP's own classification of the stream, not a measurement, except at the gauge dots, which read live. Grey is water PA DEP has not typed.
The unit in numbers
Assembled from the state huntable public-land layer and PAD-US ownership records, dissolved into one block: the section lines a state forest is surveyed in are not a fact about access, so they are not drawn and not counted twice.
Getting on it
PAD-US carries no access class for this unit. It is in the state's huntable layer, which is why it is here; what else you may do on it is the managing agency's to say.
Trout streams on this ground
Every named stream whose reaches touch this unit, longest first. The class column is PA DEP's designation of that stream, over the reaches it has classified. "Now" is the live USGS reading where a gauge stands in that stream.
| Stream | Miles | Class | Now | Designation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clearfield Creek | 78.9 | Warm | — | — |
| Laurel Run | 22.3 | Cold | — | Cold Water Fishes |
| Little Laurel Run | 9.6 | Cold | — | Cold Water Fishes |
| Indian Run | 2.4 | Cold | — | Cold Water Fishes |
The miles are the whole stream's, not the miles inside this boundary: a river does not stop at a property line and neither does its page.
Hunting
This ground is in Pennsylvania's huntable public-land layer as state game land, managed by PGC — 100% of the unit is covered by it. The seasons below are the 2026–2027 small-game seasons as the state's own digest publishes them; they are statewide except where a species is zoned, and the bars run 1 September to 31 August.
Daily bag 3, possession 9. Pennsylvania requires 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on the head, chest and back combined, worn at all times while hunting small game. It is not conditional on a deer season being open. Sundays are CLOSED. Woodcock is a migratory game bird, and migratory game birds are the one exception to Pennsylvania's 2026-27 Sunday hunting — so a Sunday in this window is open for ruffed grouse and closed for woodcock, in the same cover. A federal migratory bird: a Pennsylvania migratory game bird licence and HIP registration are required on top of the general hunting licence.
Daily bag 2, possession 6. Pennsylvania requires 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on the head, chest and back combined, worn at all times while hunting small game. It is not conditional on a deer season being open. Sundays inside these dates are open. Pennsylvania's 2026-27 seasons include every Sunday that falls between the listed start and end dates. Statewide. The season remains open through the firearms deer season, which PGC approved deliberately for 2026-27.
Daily bag 2, possession 6. Zoned — Pennsylvania publishes this season by zone, and this page does not place this unit in one, so no season bar is drawn. Seasons by zone — Statewide, outside a Wild Pheasant Recovery Area: 24 Oct – 24 Dec, 26 Dec – 28 Feb; Wild Pheasant Recovery Areas: closed all season. Pennsylvania requires 250 square inches of fluorescent orange on the head, chest and back combined, worn at all times while hunting small game. It is not conditional on a deer season being open. Sundays inside these dates are open. Pennsylvania's 2026-27 seasons include every Sunday that falls between the listed start and end dates. Male or female may be taken in all WMUs. Two windows with a one-day break at Christmas, which is PGC's own structure and not a gap in this record.
Daily bag 1, possession 1. Zoned — Pennsylvania publishes this season by zone, and this page does not place this unit in one, so no season bar is drawn. Seasons by zone — WMUs 1A, 2G, 3A, 4A, 4B and 4D: 31 Oct – 15 Nov; WMUs 1B, 3D, 4C and 4E: closed all season; Spring gobbler, statewide: 1 May – 31 May. All turkey seasons are exempt from Pennsylvania's orange requirement — 58 Pa. Code § 141.20(b)(1)(x) names them. The exemption is written as permission to HUNT without it; § 141.20(a)(1) also covers moving to and from a hunting location and the exemption does not repeat that clause, so this app does not answer the travelling case either way. Wear it walking in. Sundays inside these dates are open. Pennsylvania's 2026-27 seasons include every Sunday that falls between the listed start and end dates. Fall turkey is zoned by Wildlife Management Unit and four units — 1B, 3D, 4C and 4E — are closed to it entirely. The dates below are per zone; which zone you are standing in is not yet answered in this app. Spring gobbler, bearded bird only: 1 to 31 May 2027, one bird daily and one for the season. Hunting hours are half an hour before sunrise until noon from 1 to 16 May, and until half an hour after sunset from 17 to 31 May.
Hunter orange: 250 square inches of daylight fluorescent orange-colored material on the head, chest and back combined, visible in a 360 degree arc, from one hour before legal hunting hours to one hour after — including while moving to and from a hunting location. Camouflage orange is lawful if it carries the minimum area. (58 Pa. Code § 141.20(a)(1).) It applies at all times while hunting small game, except when hunting all crow seasons, all dove seasons, all waterfowl seasons, all falconry small game seasons, all flintlock muzzleloading deer seasons, all archery deer seasons, all archery bear seasons, all furbearer seasons except coyote, all turkey seasons and all archery elk seasons.
Access sites and amenities
No public access site we have on record stands on this unit. We hold no trail or campground data at all, so what is here is what the state publishes as launches and walk-in access, and none of it falls on this ground.
Regulations
Nothing on this page is a regulation. The fishing rules that apply to the water on this ground — the types, the seasons, the size limits and the gear restrictions — are on the Pennsylvania fishing regulations page, built from the agency's own columns. The hunting seasons above come from the state's hunting digest, read against the 2026 licence year.
Watersheds it lies in
