Trail Overview
Hessel Gessel Trail is a seasonal access road in Tioga State Forest, generally open from Early October to Late February. There has been a lot of logging activity in this area recently. There is one stunning section of trail with tall pines and low underbrush. The trail leads to a large clearing with a gate. There is plenty of room to turn around. The road surface is primarily rocky dirt; there is limited maintenance, and no winter maintenance.
Difficulty
Other than the occasional puddle, possible minor washouts, or mud, expect this road not to be challenging in any way unless there is snow or ice.
