Trail Overview

This trail ascends to the peak of Riansares Mountain, 2,310 feet, before returning to the level of the surrounding area. There is a vista near the peak of the mountain and several radio/communication towers to be seen. Otherwise, it's a relaxing wooded drive that can be accessed by pretty much any street-legal vehicle except during winter conditions.

Difficulty

This is a trail typical of most Pennsylvania Department of Conservation of Natural Resources drivable trails. There is little maintenance, but at most times of the year it is safe for any street-legal vehicle. Winter conditions would be the exception.
