The 501-acre Cold Creek State Forest is located in the on the Wyoming-Allegany County line. There are no trails on the unit but hiking is allowed on forest roads and throughout the property.

The Centerville area was settled shortly after 1800. Early residents were attracted by the high-quality timber growing there. Ironically, most of this high-quality timberland was eventually cleared for agriculture, but by the early 1900s much of the worn-out farmland was being abandoned and was reverting once again to forest.
