I would suggest you head towards the Allegheny national forest.  there are LOTS of native streams in and around there - all you need is a map - look for a stream you have to walk to a bit (usually up a larger stream) and i'll bet you'll find some brookies - not large though - a 7 incher is large!
 
harassing trout in the summer is something I think we all should think twice about.  the stream water is warm and up near the upper limit for brookies and stressing them isn't the best thing for them.  maybe wait til fall?

I agree with phishfearme, the streams are toasty and I'd wait till fall to target them, but then again you have to watch for spawning fish(both brookies or browns) at that time.  I'm sure there's still some streams cool enough in NW PA this time of year, but your best bet for wild trout this time of year are spring creeks, more so once you get to the center of the state and farther.  Most have pretty constant temps year round.
 
pm incoming.........not giving away any secrets though!!!!!!
 

Most native streams stay in the comfortable range for trout year round (thus why they support natural repro).  While i'll stay in on the very hottest of days, it's for me as much as the trout.
 
If you find natives and it's below, say 85 out, you should be good to go, with responsible fish-handling.

For the most part, but I've taken temps approaching 70 on some good wild trout streams.  I'm sure the fish'll be fine if handled carefully, and we sometimes are a little overly cautious at times, but that's not really a bad thing though lol

You can type coordinates into Google Maps.  Probably a good idea having a handheld GPS if you are looking to get into some deep woods streams too.
 
Use the search function on this site.  You might get a few creek names, then it's up to you to find the fish.  Many of the wild/native trout guys spend years of hiking hours/miles to find a few decent stretches.  It is very understandable, that most would not give out this information on a public forum, or become upset if someone leaks out a spot that they frequent.
