Situated in the 217,000 acres of northern hardwood and mixed oak forest of the Elk State Forest, there’s more to Elk County than viewing elk! While many folks like to rest & relax while they Kick It In The Sticks, there’s lots to see while you’re staying in your vacation cabin in Benezette!
We suggest you check out the PA Great Outdoors Visitors Bureau, or the PA Wilds for ideas and review the event calendar for The Elk Country Visitor Center.
Feeling crafty? Check out the Events section of the PA Made Facebook page for an in shop class schedule!
Looking for an adventure? Big Rack E-bikes & Rentals has a fleet of 7 e-bikes available for hourly & daily rentals. Your rental includes a quick how-to session (if you want it) and a helmet. Scott & Troy will even deliver your rented e-bikes to your cabin in advance of your stay! Best of all – with each e-bike rental, they purchase a trout through Bennett’s Valley Sportsmen’s Club to be stocked in a local stream.
If you’re really looking to get out there, we recommend giving Jeff & Janet at Hicks Run Outfitters a call. They’re naturalist guides and certified wildlife watch instructors that offer many services, including guided photography tours (keep in mind that during the Fall they are busy scouting elk and guiding during the elk hunting seasons.)
