DIRECTIONS: NOTE: This road is labeled on online maps variously as Hatchery, Reservoir, and Penn Forest Road. Since a street sign on PA 903 says Hatchery Road, we are using that name. From Exit 34 of I-476 (the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike), follow the Beltzville State Park signs, turn left off the exit onto US 209 North. Almost immediately, turn left at the park sign onto Harrity Road. Continue on Harrity Rd. for 0.7 miles to a T at Fairyland Rd. Turn right on Fairlyland, go a few hundred yards, and turn left onto Overlook Dr. Go 1.0 mile on Overlook Dr. to a T at Indian Hill Rd. Turn right and follow Indian Hill Rd. for a 0.7 miles to a stop sign where it becomes Maury Hill Rd. Continue onto Maury Hill Rd. past Penn's Peak resort, for another 2.5 miles to a T at PA 903. Turn right (north) onto PA 903 and proceed 3.0 miles to a right hand turn onto Hatchery Rd. Follow Hatchery Rd. for 1.4 miles to a dirt parking area on the left. The pipeline cut begins beyond the orange gate at the parking area. The site can also be reached by continuing on Penn Forest Rd. from the Penn Forest and Wild Creek reservoirs. Penn Forest Rd. will become Hatchery Rd. From the gate at the parking area take the gravel path north through the brushy area underneath the large powerline. This brushy area has Indigo Buntings, Prairie Warblers, Field Sparrows, and Eastern Towhees, and can have Yellow-breasted Chats in migration. After passing a row of pines on the left, the power line will branch. This is the "first fork." As you come to this fork start listening for Golden-wings. At the first fork, stay on the right-hand fork. The Golden-wings can be found anywhere beyond this point. Chestnut-sideds and Common Yellowthroats will be abundant, along with more towhees and Indigo Buntings. Bird this path until you come to a second fork. There is a small sign marking the southwest corner of Weiser State Forest. The power line continues down the right side of this fork. The left fork is the right of way for an underground gas pipeline. Either fork has good birding. In spring, the left fork can be very wet and muddy, but some good birds can be found. However, Golden-wings are not usually found along this fork. The path goes downhill and narrows somewhat. As it does, it will pass some large patches of hemlock. Black-throated Green will likely be found at any of these hemlock patches. A large hemlock patch on the left, just before the trail comes out into an open area has held breeding Canada Warblers and Blue-headed Vireo. When you reach the open area at the bottom of the hill, you can either turn around and bird back the way you came or bush-whack your way via a narrow deer-run to the other fork. If you bear right at the second fork, the gravel path continues with more of the same species. Weiser State Forest will be on your right. After a half mile, a gated road into the forest will be on your right. Two power poles beyond this road, on the left, is the place where the Nashville Warblers have bred. If you continue beyond this point for another half-mile or so, you will come to a very marshy area where the Northern Waterthrush and Swamp Sparrows can be found. There are also several foot trails into the woods on either side of the cut. Common birds in the woods are Black-and-white Warblers and Ovenbirds, Scarlet Tanagers, and Hermit Thrushes. Pileated Woodpeckers are uncommon but present. Whip-poor-wills are also possible during a night time visit. If you drive about 0.2 miles past the parking area, a single-lane dirt road leading to Weiser State Forest will be on your left. Pine Warblers and Hermit Thrushes can be found along this road. Whip-poor-wills are also possible during a night time visit, although nearby Hell Hollow Rd. has greater numbers of them.
