Tioga State Forest is a Pennsylvania State Forest in District #16. The main offices are located in Wellsboro in Tioga County, Pennsylvania in the United States.
The forest is located in Tioga County and was named for a tribe of the Seneca, a Native American people, who once lived in the area. The word "Tioga" means 'the meeting of two rivers'.
Prior to the July 1, 2005 realignment of Pennsylvania State Forest Districts, Tioga State Forest included almost all state forest lands in Tioga and Bradford counties and encompassed 160,000 acres (64,750 ha). After realignment, the state forest tracts in Bradford County became part of the new Loyalsock State Forest.
