State Game Lands (SGL) 183 is located in the Pennsylvania Game Commission's (PGC) Northeast Region. Terrain is forested and has several large wetland areas. Private lands surround the western, northern and eastern sides of the game lands. The Delaware State Forest borders most of the southern portion. The elevation varies from 880 feet, found along Decker Creek near the eastern boundary of the game lands to the highest elevation of 1,459 feet along the southwestern boundary near the Tanglewood ski resort. Game Lands 183 is very typical of the oak forest types within the Pocono Plateau. While 86% of the total acreage exists as terrestrial forest cover (2,405 acres), there is an assortment of smaller community types found across the game land. These include terrestrial herbaceous openings, palustrine forests and woodlands, and aquatic communities accounting for approximately 360 acres. SGL 183's terrestrial forest cover is dominated by the mixed oak forest type covering 63% (1,833 acres) of the game land.

Primary public access to SGL 183 is from Interstates 380 and 84, and PA-507. These routes provide access from Wyoming Valley to the south and New York and New Jersey to the east. US Route 6 and PA 402 bisect the game lands. Township routes 367, along Decker Creek, and Township route 369, near Wilsonville, provide the main access to the interior of the tract.

There are nine public parking areas. Former logging roads provide foot access into the game lands. These roads are grass covered and have mostly moderate grades that make for comfortable hiking opportunities. No game lands roads are open to public travel. The trails and right-of-ways are used for administrative access and are non-motorized designated routes.
