Feature layer of BicyclePA Routes for use with PennDOT's PennShare and OpenData applicationsBicyclePA routes were designed by experienced bicyclists to provide those who wish to traverse the state by bicycle with a guide to some of the Commonwealth’s highways and rail-trails. Some of these routes contain bike lanes or other facilities designed specifically for bicyclists traveling within the four corners of the Commonwealth. Every bicyclist is responsible for his or her personal safety and welfare and for remaining alert and mindful of conditions on the roads or trails. There are 10 designated BicyclePA routes- A, E, G, J, JS, L, S, V, Y, and Z. A: BicyclePA Route A runs north/south from Presque Isle State Park on Lake Erie to the West Virginia border just north of Morgantown in Greene County. E: BicyclePA Route E runs north/south from the New Jersey border along the Delaware River in Morrisville, PA to the Delaware border in Marcus Hook, PA. G: BicyclePA Route G runs north/south from the New York border in Lawrenceville, Tioga County to the Maryland border in Bedford County. J: BicyclePA Route J runs north/south from the New York border in Sayre, Bradford County to the Maryland border in two places: New Freedom, York County and south of Gettysburg in Adams County. JS: BicyclePA Route JS runs east/west between Seven Valleys in York County and Gettysburg in Adams County. L: BicyclePA Route L runs north/south from the New York border south of Binghamton in Susquehanna County to the Delaware border north of Wilmington in Chester County. S: BicyclePA Route S runs east/west from the New Jersey border at the Washington Crossing Military Park on the Delaware River in Bucks County to the West Virginia border east of Wheeling in Washington County. V: BicyclePA Route V runs east/west from the New Jersey border in Portland (Northampton County) to the Ohio border in Lawrence County, roughly parallel with Interstate 80. Y: BicyclePA Route Y runs east/west from the New York border in Pike County to the Ohio border in Crawford County. Z: BicyclePA Route Z runs east/west along the shore of Lake Erie from the New York border to the Ohio border in Erie County.

The PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) and PA Game Commission (PGC) have teamed up to create an interactive map specifically for hunters. Collectively, State Forest Land and Gamelands comprise over 3.7 million acres of public forest open to hunting in Pennsylvania. Hunters can use this map to:View public forests open to hunting.Search hunting seasons and bag limits across different parts of the state.Display hunting hours (starting/ending times) across different parts of the state.Add personal GPS data to the map (waypoints and tracklogs).View different types of wildlife habitat across public forest lands, including mature oak forests, meadows, food plots, openings, winter thermal (coniferous) cover, and young aspen forest.See where recent timber harvests have occurred on public forest lands.Get deer management assistance program (DMAP) information for state forest lands.Add map layers associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD).Identify where bear check stations are located and get driving directions.Display the elk hunting zones and get information about them.Get the location of gated roads opened for hunters on public forest lands and when those gates will be opened.Analyze graphs and trends in antlerless/antlered deer harvests and antlerless license allocations from 2004 to the present.
