With some of the largest areas of wilderness in the East, it is very easy to see wildlife in its natural habitat. There are more than 65 species of mammals, 200 types of birds, 80 species of reptiles and amphibians as well as 67 native types of fish protected in the park. The symbol of the park is the American Black Bear as the forest provides the largest bear habitat on the East Coast. Take a hike on one of the many trails and you will probably see bears, chipmunk, squirrels, white-tail deer and groundhog.
