Spring Creek Rd

Trail Overview

This forest road is the unpaved connector between the western and eastern parts of the Clear Creek & Callen Run tract of Clear Creek State Forest. It connects to PA 949 at either end. Though this featured route ends at the boundary for State Game Land 54 on the eastern end, it does go through. The Laurel Fields on the western end are a real highlight and showcase PA's state flower when they are blooming! Hays tower on the eastern end is a landmark you can see from much of the surrounding forest and field, and the cellular antennas on that hill give surprisingly good coverage to the area! There is one dispersed motorized campsite on the east end that you can reserve via Reserve America. Though the cell service may be generally good, the fuel is scarce and often expensive in this area. Your best bet is the Love's truck stop to the south at the I-80 exit for PA 28.
