Susquehannock State Forest is a Pennsylvania state forest in Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry District #15. The main office is located in Coudersport in Potter County, Pennsylvania in the United States.

Susquehannock State Forest is located chiefly in Potter County, with small tracts in McKean and Clinton Counties. The forest is named for the Susquehannocks, a Native American tribe who once lived in the Susquehanna River basin. Forrest H. Dutlinger Natural Area and Hammersley Wild Area (the second largest roadless area in the state[1]) receive extra protection. The state forest hosts the Susquehannock Trail System, an 83-mile (134 km) loop hiking trail almost entirely on state forest land.[2][3]
