Trail Overview
Laurel Ridge Road is a gracefully winding gravel road through Moshannon State Forest. Serving as a connector between Laurel Run Road and Mud Run Road and providing access to Pray Run and Laurel Run. Spurline Trail and Skunk Trail, both non-motorized access trails, intersect or have a trailhead at the road. There is a pipeline that intersects approximately in the middle of the route, giving a clear view of the valley and adjacent hills to the north east. This road is a beautiful drive any time of the year, and a great way to access the state park from the southeast. The majority of the road is single lane with some shoulder, but there are several areas where it would be comfortable to pass. Expect there is no winter maintenance, and navigate with caution if snow or ice is present.
