Ole Bull State Park

Ole Bull State Park consists of 132 acres along the Kettle Creek Valley in Potter County. This area is called the Black Forest because of its once dense tree cover, mountainous terrain, and wilderness habitat. The park is adjacent to the Susquehannock State Forest.

Approximately 40% of the Ole Bull Park is forested. The forested areas of the park contain naturally occurring species that include Eastern hemlock, white oaks, sycamore, white pine, and spruce. Many areas in the forest were planted as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) efforts and includes red pine, tamarack, white pine and spruce in these areas.

The park is dominated by mixed hardwood and evergreen forests with the largest species being white pine, sycamore, Norway spruce and a few others. The CCC pine and tamarack plantations are almost 100 years old and many of the other trees are as old as 120 years.
