Reply to comment by probablybill in What do yinz know about Twelve Mile Island near Oakmont? Scrolling around on google maps and it seems to have housing, but only accessible by boat. by tapdancingtommy7

I was expecting like 10 houses on it. Nope, there are 50ish all cramped together. This drone shot is a good view of it all.

If ya ever travel north where people have camps…this is exactly what it looks like. This is the most rural PA thing I have yet to see in PGH.

I guess I haven't been far enough north to know. I've been pretty far out but most camp grounds ive been too are either set up like trailer parks, or just straight up woods

Not campgrounds…camps. Hunting camps, fishing camps.

You’ll be driving along a stretch of road and pretty soon it is just a hodgepodge of random campers, trailers, and one room houses. Sinnemahoning and Wharton come to mind. Parts of Bennezette as well.

Oh I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I'm in the heart of the city and really only ever go as far as beaver falls 🤣 I need to get out more. I like fishin

Haha.

“Do your sportin’ in Wharton!”

Some very prized trout streams up that way and not too terrible of a drive.

There’s pretty cool camping and music festival in Austin, PA called The Dam Show at the end of the summer if you are into that. Great star gazing opportunities as well.

It’s great for a visit.

If you go up to Potter County you'll see it alot. Cherry springs is a nice place to stay for a couple days of star gazing.
