Trail Overview

This is a seasonal use road through Pennsylvania State Game Lands #219, also known as Montrose Turnpike. When crossing the state border, the road becomes much less maintained, with evidence of many downed trees along the way. The South to North direction will greet you with a wonderful view of mountains off in the distance. This road is exceptionally more difficult after fresh snow and is completely unmaintained. Take a moment to stop and visit to Coburn Cemetery while you're in the forest, a view into the past of a family plot dating back to the mid-eighteen hundreds.
