During times of rain, snow, and ice, the trail can become heavily rutted and extremely hard to travel on. There is a short spot in the middle section of the road that is a fun, muddy, rutted spot in the spring and after heavy rains. There may be downed trees or large branches that will have to be cleared to continue on. Gas Road is within Sproul State Forest. There are numerous spots to stop along this road and enjoy the foliage and possible wildlife. There are a few camp sites located in this part of Sproul State Forest to choose from. This region of Pennsylvania is a great place to explore during the fall when the leaves are changing color, and the full beauty of the State Forest is on display.
