Description
The Deer Creek Trail (Green Trail) is an approximately 2.3 mile loop that winds through the northern portion of Susquehanna State Park. The trail is most commonly accessed from the parking lot near the Deer Creek Picnic Area, and ends near Stafford Road. The loop can be traveled in either direction, and is rolling either way. If you're looking for a longer route than this loop offers, it's easy to add the Red or Blue trail for a longer outing.
