State Game Land (SGL) 141 is comprised of 17,047.91 acres located in the Pennsylvania Game Commission's Northeast Region. It lies in Packer Township, Lehigh Township, Penn Forest Township, and Nesquehoning Borough, in Carbon County. SGL 141 is 2 air miles north of Jim Thorpe and 2 miles south of Weatherly. State Route 93 transects the western portion of SGL 141. State Route 903 travels along the southern boundary. Interstate 80 and the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike provide major travel corridors into the vicinity.
The majority of the acreage on SGL 141 lies atop Broad, Scrub, Millstone, and Summer Mountains and exists in terrestrial forest cover. However there are a number of unique and distinct habitats. The Lehigh River and its tributaries have carved out a system of steep drainages. Many miles of the Lehigh Gorge are encompassed by SGL 141. Elevation ranges from 560 feet along the Lehigh River at Glen Onoko to 1,800 feet at the tower site atop Broad Mountain.
Hunting opportunities exist for black bear, gray squirrel, whitetail deer, ruffed grouse and wild turkey. Coyote, bobcat, and gray fox can be found in the forested areas, while raccoon, mink and muskrat reside in and around streams and the Lehigh River. Waterfowl hunting opportunities exist along the Lehigh River through portions of SGL 141. This game land offers a wide range of other recreation opportunities other than hunting and trapping.
There is one public shooting range located on the Broad Mountain off of SR 93. This range includes a handgun and rifle range. The handgun range offers 25‐ and 50‐yard backstops. The rifle range has backstops located at 50, 100, 200, and 300 yards. This long‐range shooting provides a unique opportunity for recreational shooters and hunters preparing for hunts out west. Additionally, there are 13 miles of established biking and horse back riding trails. The Glenn Onoko Falls footpath, though not a designated trail, has long been a favorite hiking location with access from the Lehigh Gorge State Park. This trail has posed several problems over the years, because it is very dangerous due to the geological formation of the drainage and moisture from the falls. Carbon County EMA and volunteer fire departments have exhausted countless man‐hours performing search and rescue operations to recover injured hikers. Other recreational opportunities include fishing, berry‐ and mushroom‐picking, bird‐watching, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing.

Each time a hunter buys a hunting license, the money he spends goes toward many facets of wildlife management. Since 1920, close to a million and a half aces of State Game Lands have been acquired with these funds. Each year nearly $7,000,000 is spent to improve wildlife habitat. Habitat improvements enhance living conditions for non‐game birds and mammals as well as those species which are hunted. Pennsylvania hunters willingly share these lands with the non‐hunting public, and with few exceptions, State Game Lands are open for general use year round. Surveys indicate that hunting accounts for only thirty‐five percent of game land usage. The remaining sixty‐five percent is used by the general public for non‐hunting purposes.
“Working Together for Wildlife” is a Game Commission program providing everyone an opportunity to help support wildlife management in the areas for endangered and non‐game animals. Monies derived from the “Working Together for Wildlife” Program are being used in Pennsylvania to re‐introduce the osprey, river otter, bald eagle, peregrine falcon and provide habitat for other birds and mammals indigenous to the Commonwealth. Construction placement of blue bird houses on State Game Lands provides needed homes for this beautiful songbird. Islands in the Susquehanna River have been set aside as propagations areas for non‐game shore birds. Numerous other projects are planned on State Game Lands and other public properties which will also provide food and habitat for non‐game wildlife.
The future of Pennsylvania’s wildlife resources requires the concern, cooperation and financial support of everyone, hunters and non‐hunters alike. “Working Together for Wildlife” is the answer.
