Raystown Lake
Fouse Crossing Road Mitigation Wetlands

 

Directions:  Traveling south on PA 26 approximately 1.5 miles south of center of Marklesburg and turn left (east) onto Fouse Crossing Road. Go about 0.5 mile to an unnamed lane on the left. This leads immediately into a small parking area. The unnamed lane is a gated, gravel road into the wetland area. Walk on this lane northeast through some overgrown fields (good for sparrows, etc) , coming eventually to marshy pools on both sides of the lane. Approach the pools cautiously as they are near the lane and waterfowl, etc will be spooked.

 

Description:  Just a bit further South of Marklesburg, off PA 26, is a nice mitigation wetland that you can walk into with shallow ponds.
