Tuscarora Quartzite
Summit of Mount Logan,Clinton County, within the Mount Logan Natural Area of Bald Eagle State Forest.
The 500-plus-acre natural area protects the forested slopes and summit of Mount Logan, a prominent peak on Bald Eagle Mountain. The slopes contain masses of talus; at the summit is a narrow, jumbled outcrop of Tuscarora quartzite.
The forest is a mix of old-growth and second-growth hardwoods, white pines, and hemlocks. Many trees at and near the summit are stunted from the harsh microclimate. The north slope preserves a small tract of old-growth hemlocks.
