State Parks Varden Conservation Area in Greentown, PA

The gift of veterinarian Dr. Mead Shaffer, the 343-acre Varden Conservation Area is in Wayne County. This magnanimous gift of land is a pristine area in a once-remote section of the state that now is beginning to feel the pressure of development. It will be protected and used for future generations as a respite from daily life, and a place to learn about our wonderful natural history. The property will be managed through Promised Land State Park, Pike County.

Once access points and parking become available, the land will be available to the public for environmental education, hiking, bird watching, hunting and other passive outdoor recreation.

There are excellent short hikes available in the Varden Conservation Area, so this can be a good starter hike, or family hike location.
