Visitors using more remote and undeveloped areas of Tobyhanna State Park should be aware that they could encounter old, unexploded artillery shells.
Three types of shells have been found in the park:
- The largest projectile is 18 to 24 inches in length and about six inches in diameter.
- The medium projectile is 2.5 inches in diameter and from 10 to 14 inches in length.
- The smallest projectile is three inches long and 1.25 inches in diameter.
Shells are found in severely rusted condition without any recognizable markings or imprints. Their overall appearance is that of a pointed cylinder of rusted steel.
Visitors encountering such items should not touch, attempt to move, or otherwise disturb the items, and should call the park office to report the location for proper disposal.
Cell service is unpredictable in and around many Pennsylvania State Parks. Please download the park map before your visit.
