Shouldn't this section be placed under "Recreation"? I don't mean to degrade the status of the section, but from an encyclopedic point of view, the topic fits better there, especially for consistency with other articles about parks. Taking a look at the TOC illustrates this. Of course, it can be stressed that this is an important, perhaps leading, activity in the park. -- algocu 20:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Intersting stuff here. I am not sure about the reliable source. Dincher ( talk) 21:49, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the woodsmen bit. Unfortunately I can't access it from work. I am starting on expanding the history section for now. I will move lots of the lumber history over. This Edgcomb guy is pretty interesting. And the path future PA 44 might work out for us too. Dincher ( talk) 21:38, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I know I am jumping the gun here, but I am pretty sure that the history section is up to GA if not FA readiness. With some copy edits of course. There is probably more info out there about the Jersey Shore - Coudersport Turnpike too. I am guess that the Geology and Climate section will be pretty similar to Black Moshannon State Park, but this is just a guess. Wildlife and ecology shouldn't be hard either. Dincher ( talk) 14:49, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
My thinking is that we should stick with the West Branch watershed parks for now. I will look at the links sometime this weekend. As you know my contributions from home have greatly decreased and might be non-existant soon. Will email you about this. Dincher ( talk) 01:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Another source on astronomy in the park and its economic impact in Potter County is here (search for "Tim Morey", the author). Ruhrfisch ><>°° 19:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Any feedback on using these two images of the pavilion built by the CCC in the article like this? If we used these two as a stack, then the other picture of the pavilion would be the third and a bit much. I have pics of the other CCC-built pavilion (much smaller, hexagonal roof on six log columns) and of a CCC-built stone fireplace with some of the apple and pine trees they plated in the background. What do you think? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:08, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
I agree with your choices. That's a really small pavilion. Dincher ( talk) 10:44, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

The "Public Use Map for Susquehannock State Forest" says the first purchase for the state forest was made in 1901 and that "By 1949, all the major purchases of the forest land had been made at an average cost of $2.50 per acre." Using the {{ Inflation}} template, $2.50 in 1901 dollars would be $92 today, while $2.50 in 1949 dollars would be $32 today. Following User:Sasata's suggestion at the FAC for this article, I averaged these two figures ($65 and $23) to get $44 per acre ($109 per ha) in 2009 dollars. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:55, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Good article, folks — kudos on the recent FA. I wonder if you might want to be a little more specific with the caption on the lead image, though. I'm confused by the image of the Milky Way as the lead image for a State Park. (Reading the lead makes it clear why it was chosen, but requiring the reader to sift through it in such a state of confusion seems unpalatable.) Scartol • Tok 00:22, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
(out)Thanks, how about Cherry Springs State Park's night sky is so dark that the Milky Way casts a shadow in it.? If you know Sagittarius, there is a suddent a-ha moment looking at that picture and seeing the "teapot" that makes you realize how many other stars are visible that are not normally seen, but it does make this a mouthful. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) Is there a source for the Milky Way shadow part? TIA. Also, congrats on the front page and quality of the article. -- Tom (talk) 21:38, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations for having this article featured. It is a nice one. However, it is a bit confusing to have a lead picture that does not show the park. Would someone consider using, for example, the photo with the domes covered by snow, which can be seen currently in the wikipedia main page? Miguel Andrade ( talk) 07:06, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
