Pennsylvania's beautiful landscapes can be seen through its many national parks. In fact, Pennsylvania has 19 National Parks throughout the state. However, Pennsylvania has an additional 9 park sites that are either affiliated or managed by the [[National Park Service]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/state/pa/index.htm|title=Pennsylvania (U.S. National Park Service)|website=www.nps.gov|access-date=2016-11-06}}</ref> . This allows for a number of different avenues to bring in revenue throughout the parks within Pennsylvania that receive 9,935,361 individuals visiting them each year. These visitors create an overall economic benefit of $453,100,000 from tourism at these sites<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nps.gov/state/pa/index.htm|title=Pennsylvania (U.S. National Park Service)|website=www.nps.gov|access-date=2016-11-06}}</ref>. This economic benefit can be the result of entrance fees, food purchases, and souveniors. Below is a table of the 19 National State Parks in Pennsylvania and their yearly operation costs and personal costs from the 2017 fiscal year. These operating costs are what are deducted from the parks revenue to find the total profit of each park. These operations costs include things such as maintenance of the parks and wages for park workers. The yearly personal costs are the costs of entrance for the parks. In addition, the table includes the yearly visitation of the parks to show the number of visitors that went through during the 2014 year. To begin to see a portion of the revenue made by these parks is the revenue made by entrance fees. To find this portion of the revenue, multiply the yearly visitation and the yearly personal costs. This will result in only one small portion of the yearly revenue that these parks produce.

Environment of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is a northeastern commonwealth located in the United States of America. It was originally one of the 13 original colonies. Pennsylvania is home to a population of 12,802,503 individuals and various different types of enviornments[1]. Pennsylvania is known for its many hills, plateaus, mountains, and valleys. In fact, Pennsylvania is 50% forest land with the only lowlands located in the southeast[2].

Mountains
Blue Knob Mountain in the Quaker Valley of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has many different mountain ranges with the highest point being at 3,213ft on Mt. Davis[3]. The main mountain ranges include the Appalachian, Allegheny, and Pocono Mountains[4]. The Appalachian Mountain Range runs throughout Pennsylvania and seventeen other states, creating the largest mountain range in Pennsylvania. The Allegheny Mountain Range connects to the Appalachian mountains in west and central Pennsylvania. The Pocano Mountain Range runs throughout northeastern Pennsylvania. The Allegheny and Pocono mountains are the two largest subranges in Pennsylvania. Other mountain ranges in Pennsylvania include the Bear Pond Mountains, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Conewago Mountains, music Mountains, Town Hill Mountain Range, and the Endless Mountains[5]. To find a full list of mountains in Pennsylvania look at Category:Mountain ranges of Pennsylvania.

Susquehanna River  
Rivers

Pennsylvania also has more significant waterways than any other US state [6]. In fact, Pennsylvania has more than 83,000 miles of rivers, creeks, and streams. [7] The main waterways are the Delaware River, Allegheny River, Ohio River, Monongahela River, and the Susquehanna River. Every Pennsylvania river is categorized into five classifications by the Pennsylvania Scenic Rivers[8]. The classifications are wild, scenic, pastoral, recreational, or modified recreational. Any individual river can have more then one classification, but they all have at least one. For a full list of river go to List of rivers of Pennsylvania.

EcoTourism in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's beautiful landscapes can be seen through its many national parks. In fact, Pennsylvania has 19 National Parks throughout the state. However, Pennsylvania has an additional 9 park sites that are either affiliated or managed by the National Park Service[9] . This allows for a number of different avenues to bring in revenue throughout the parks within Pennsylvania that receive 9,935,361 individuals visiting them each year. These visitors create an overall economic benefit of $453,100,000 from tourism at these sites[10]. This economic benefit can be the result of entrance fees, food purchases, and souveniors. Below is a table of the 19 National State Parks in Pennsylvania and their yearly operation costs and personal costs from the 2017 fiscal year. These operating costs are what are deducted from the parks revenue to find the total profit of each park. These operations costs include things such as maintenance of the parks and wages for park workers. The yearly personal costs are the costs of entrance for the parks. In addition, the table includes the yearly visitation of the parks to show the number of visitors that went through during the 2014 year. To begin to see a portion of the revenue made by these parks is the revenue made by entrance fees. To find this portion of the revenue, multiply the yearly visitation and the yearly personal costs. This will result in only one small portion of the yearly revenue that these parks produce.
