Description
To get to the trail, you can park in the Equestrian Trailhead parking at 1838 PA Route 168. Then follow the Appaloosa Spur Trail. For a nice 10k follow Nichol Road to create a nice lollipop route. What's really nice is you can add to that route very easily by combining the multitude of other "better" trails in the area.
