TUERE IS XU lilOTTEU rLA( I-: TO 1*LAY AND TO FISH THAN IN THE STATE FORESTS original growth of balsam flr, tamarack, and black spruce have been cut and burned, but tbere is a fine young growth coming on also of laurel and rhodo- dendron, and there are many fine springs. There is a path from the I>ear Meadows across Greenlee Moun- tain near to a forest of original white pine trees, which takes the hiker to Detweiler Hollow where another notable State Monument is located. Bear Meadows is probably the most popular of the State Monuments on account of its accessibility and botanical curiosities. It is a vast bottomless quag- mire, and in some places is said to be very dangerous to travelers. Some have claimed that it took its name from an early pioneer or hunter nameil Baer; others that it was named on account of the i>revalence of Iwars, or, as the early settlers sometimes six'lled their name, "; At any rate, the ((nnniittee which selected this tract as a State :Monument decided to give it the official name of "Hear" Meadows. DETWEILER RUN STATE FOREST MONUMENT This tract is situated near the headwaters of Det- weiler Run, Huntingdon County, in the Logan State Forest. The nearest town is Greenwood, Hunting- don Countv, where there is a State forest tree nursery and a forest fire observation tower. It may be reached by traveling over a State highway for a dist<ance of about 25 miles northeast of Huntingdon, where there are hotel accommodations, on the William Penn High- way, and there are also hotels at Milroy, Reedsville, and Belleville nearer the Monument. It comprises about 50 acres of gigantic original white pines and hemlocks growing amidst pioneer forest conditions.
