State Game Land 264 spans Schuylkill and Dauphin Counties in Bear Valley, reaching the Hegins and Porter Township areas on the Schuylkill side. It covers 8,836 acres of roughly 97% forested terrain between about 700 and 1,600 feet.
Hunters in WMU 4E take deer, black bear, turkey, ruffed grouse, squirrels, and furbearers. Several parking areas open off SR 25 and SR 209, and an abandoned railroad grade along the south edge is a designated horse/bike trail. Season dates, bag limits, antlerless allocations, and Sunday-hunting days are set each year by the Pennsylvania Game Commission — confirm the current year before you hunt.
