Trail Overview

West Gate Road is a relatively well-maintained section of the Penn Mountain State Forest access roads. The trail can be muddy in spots and as always with trails in this region watch for fallen trees or limbs blocking the trail. This area is very susceptible to high winds whenever a weather front moves through. Always carry a saw to clear your path. The trail terminates at the T junction with East Gate Road. Watch for traffic coming downhill before pulling onto the trail in either direction.

Beautiful drive through the woods. Good pack of snow on the trail so needed 4Lo in a few spots. Ended up going all the way up to Penn Mountain on East Gate Road.
