Difficulty

Kingston Road is primarily a gravel road with a few dirt sections. It will become rutted and washed out in the spring due to snow melting. There is no winter maintenance on this road so during times of snow and ice in the winter it will become harder.

History

Kingston Road is part of a 75-mile scenic drive from Emporium to Lock Haven and contains views of some 22,724 acres in the Elk and Sproul state forests. All state-owned land rim to rim along the Susquehanna River and Sinnemahoning Creek was legislated State Park status in 1933 at a time when the Department of Forests and Waters did not have a state park system. The Bucktail is considered a memorial honoring the Civil War volunteers who traveled this route to do their part for the Union. In 1975 it was designated a state Natural Area.
