About this park

Straddling Peters Mountain in Dauphin County, the 803-acre Joseph E. Ibberson Conservation Area is dominated by large hardwood trees. The large block of nearly unbroken forest is a haven for forest warblers and other deep-woods animals. A main attraction is the elaborate trail system, which connects to the Appalachian Trail on the northern slope of Peters Mountain.
