Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn and Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) Executive Director Tim Schaeffer visited Lycoming County to highlight a new accessible fishing platform in the Tiadaghton State Forest that ensures visitors of all ability levels can fish on the Pine Creek - the largest creek in the U.S. The fishing platform at the Tomb Flats Campground provides more than 100 linear feet of flat, accessible fishing access to the Pine Creek. Other improvements in the project include an extension at the existing concrete boat launch, paved accessible parking spaces, and a native meadow, trees, riparian buffer plantings, and climate mitigation measures. "This new accessible fishing pier is an important step in creating new opportunities for anglers of all ability levels and can serve as a model for communities across the Commonwealth," said Secretary Dunn. "The Shapiro Administration remains committed to ensuring all Pennsylvanians and visitors have access to high quality recreational opportunities, as exemplified with this project here in the Tiadaghton, and with the nearby Pine Creek Rail Trail-the 2026 Trail of the Year."Speakers Include:Tiadaghton District Forester Tom CasilioDCNR Secretary Cindy Adams DunnPennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Executive Director Tim ShaefferNorthcentral Pennsylvania Conservancy Executive Director Renee CareyGeorge Durrwachter, Pine Creek Preservation Association/Pine Creek Rail Trail Advisory CommitteeGlenn Klinger, PAtriot Fly FishersCarey Entz-Rine, Lycoming County Conservation District Interim DirectorState Senator Gene YawState Representative Joe HammState Forester Seth Cassell
