Waterloo Wildlife Area

The Adventure...

Waterloo Wildlife Area is a rugged and heavily-forested park and is home to the Waterloo Wildlife Research Station. Hiking, birding, fishing, and hunting are some of the most popular activities. The park is home to some unusual features including rock outcrops from the Pennsylvania system of the Conemaugh and Allegheny series. Massive outcrops of Lower Freeport sandstone can be seen at the east end of the area. More than 80 species of birds can be seen and heard throughout the year, including cedar waxwing, white-eyed vireo, red-eyed vireo, blue-winged warbler, prairie warbler, yellow warbler, hooded warbler, indigo bunting, Northern mockingbird, wood thrush, Acadian flycatcher, mourning dove, and red-tailed hawk. Squirrel, wild turkey, and white-tailed deer are the most common game, but red fox and ruffed grouse are also commonly hunted.
