Elk County  The abundant forest lands primarily attracted the county's earliest settlers in 1787.
The county's first industries were indicative of the natural terrain. As a result, the marketing of
timber, in various forms, was Elk County's first major industry. The laying of rails added impetus to
the early economy and increased the shipping of timber and coal.

Pennsylvania Elk Herd   Bennezette, PA...Just a short drive from Treasure Lake.  The elk were
reintroduced to Pennsylvania beginning in 1913. The first herd of 50 Rocky Mountain elk traveled
from Yellowstone in Wyoming to Pennsylvania by train. They were released into Clearfield and
Clinton Counties. Two years after the initial release program began; an addition 95 elk were
transported from Yellowstone for release into Pennsylvania. This was the beginning of today's elk
or "wapiti" in Pennsylvania. The elk continue to thrive and Pennsylvania's herd now numbers near 800
elk.
