Trail Overview

Little Council Run Trail is primarily an ungraded dirt trail. It is classified as a PA Drivable Trail by the DCNR. It is a moderate ride in the summer months; however, there is no maintenance at all on this trail. During times of rain, snow, and ice, the trail can become heavily rutted and extremely hard to travel on. There may be downed trees or large branches that will have to be cleared to continue on. Little Council Run Trail 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.

Entered from the south end of the trail and it was wide open and easygoing. The north end of the trail was heavily overgrown and parts of the trail have been washed out. Expect to get some good pinstripes.

Entered from the South side. Trail was wide open until about midway. Water has caused some washout here and there than will need navigated. The North side of the trail is grown over to the point that you cannot walk the trail without branches hitting from waste up. Overall, fun but be prepared for pinstripes and no visibility at points.
