Description: East Fork Run, McKean County, within the Tionesta Research Natural Area of Allegheny National Forest. The Tionesta Scenic and Research Natural Areas encompass 4000-plus acres of old-growth forest. The forest is magnificent; however, the combined effects of beech bark disease and weather disturbances (particularly the May 1985 tornado) have greatly opened the forest canopy. The Research Natural Area, unlike the adjacent Scenic Area, has no trails. The best access is from a pipeline swath that connects with Forest Road 443 northeast of Brookston.
