Trail Overview

Landrus Road is an exceptionally beautiful, relaxed drive following Babb Creek and Lick Creek, connecting the towns of Morris and Arnot, and passing through the former town of Landrus. The road is wide enough to pass carefully in all but a few narrow areas, and there are numerous opportunities to pull off and walk down to the water. There is also a beautiful waterfall towards the north end of the road. If accessing the creek, be mindful that there are multiple plots of private property along this route.

History

Landrus formerly existed as a lumber and coal mining town. The town was abandoned between 1910 and 1915 after being founded in 1882 as a sawmill town. At its peak, Landrus most likely had a population of 100. Named after Henry J. Landrus, who was the manager of the Blossburg Coal Company. This "ghost town" can be found along Landrus Road, where the Landrus Corners marker stone (photo #14) stands.
