The Camp Moxie Hunting Club was organized in 2009 by a group interested in maintaining the quality of hunting and preserving the natural ecosystem established so many years ago. This 45 member group can be found exploring, hiking, or hunting on this 1600 acre track of land located between Gross Hollow Road and Rooks Road deep in Potter County PA. The headwaters of the Allegheny River run through a stream beside a railroad bed serving as a natural thoroughfare for wildlife of all type. The club works closely with representatives of the timber company to maintain this historic track of land.

Camp Moxie started as a private business over 115 years ago. Ice was farmed from the very lake that is now nothing but a small stream located at the camp. Ice was farmed in the winter months and transported by rail to Ulysses. Later, the lake served as a popular recreational spot. Visitors could be found swimming or fishing off the shore while others could be seen in small boats enjoying what the lake had to offer. In 1929, the land was donated by the late Potter County Judge Robert R. Lewis to the McKean, Cameron, and Potter County Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The foundation of the cabin can still be found by the eroded dam at the end of the lake. Camp Moxie served as a central figure for the scouting program for 13 years. Due to a lack of funding, ownership of Camp Moxie reverted to the Collins Pines Company in 1941. Many of the large hemlocks have been spared over the years providing a green canopy that can still be enjoyed today. One of the signatures of the property is a private ice mine where an icy cool mist can be seen emanating from a small crevice. Seeing ice occurring naturally in mid-July is truly a natural wonder!
