Trail Overview
This is a standard state forest road. It is out-and-back and provides access to a single dispersed motorized campsite that can be reserved on Reserve America, as with all Pennsylvania sites. It also provides access to several hiking trails and a very nice waterfall in Sproul State Forest, along with several tracts of private land. It's an easy and scenic drive. As with most of Sproul State Forest, it is fairly remote- cell service is spotty at best, and there are few places to provision. Plan accordingly. Do be aware of the private land boundaries you pass through and that border this forest road. The tract you pass through is signed appropriately, noting the transition between private and forest land. The tracts to the side of the road have private property and no trespassing signs. Please be respectful of these distinctions. As with many forest roads in Sproul State Forest, this one passes through a cut in the forest for power lines. The power line trails are for utility company use only and are gated. Do not attempt to go around the gates.
