You are good to go. From the PA Attorney General reciprocity web page:

https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/Media_a ... greements/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Category 2: States that have statutory reciprocity under 6106(b)(15) of the Uniform Firearms Act.

The following states have been granted statutory reciprocity without a formal written agreement under 6106(b)(15), based on the determination of the Attorney General that the other state has granted reciprocity to Pennsylvania license holders, and that the other state's laws governing firearms are similar.

Colorado
Iowa
Indiana
Kansas
Louisiana
Montana
North Dakota - Effective August 1, 2013 only North Dakota Class I permits are recognized in Category 2.

Make sure you check the laws for State Parks...12. Are firearms permitted in the park?

Firearms and archery equipment used for hunting may be uncased and ready for use only in authorized hunting areas during hunting seasons. In areas not open to hunting or during non-hunting seasons, firearms and archery equipment shall be kept in the owner’s car, trailer, or owner's building on a leased campsite. Exceptions include: law enforcement officers and individuals with a valid Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms are authorized to carry a firearm concealed on their person while they are within a state park.

the above is taken from the http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; website...Greg

I thought reciprocity with PA was only for CHL's issued after a certain date? Did that change or am I way off?

That was Texas and Wisconsin, who only recognize licenses issues March 23 2015 or later because that's when Ohio started conducting a NICS check before issuing licenses. PA recognizes all Ohio licenses no matter when they were issued.
