Kettle Creek is one of the PA Wilds' most celebrated wild trout streams, flowing through Susquehannock State Forest and the Kettle Creek Natural Area in the heart of Pennsylvania's largest remaining wilderness. The upper creek is Class A wild brown and brook trout water, while the middle reaches offer intimate canoeable riffles. Surrounding forests hold elk, black bear, and some of the darkest skies in the eastern U.S.
