The Pine Creek Rail Trail was one of the first rails-to-trails in the area, having been completed…read morein 1996. As its name implies, this was once a rail line and it was built in 1883 to haul timber products and coal. Throughout the years it was operated by various rail companies, the last being Conrail Railroad, which shut it down in 1988. The present trail starts in Jersey Shore, PA and ends just north of Wellsboro, PA. The entire trail is crushed limestone and is an easy ride. The steepest grade is only about 2%. Rick and I began our trip in Jersey Shore at the trailhead. Please note that the address I show above is the approximate address of the trailhead. Some parking is available at the trailhead as are restrooms. We headed west for a few blocks then turned and proceeded northwest while paralleling PA #44. Just northwest of Torbert we crossed the creek for the first time. This was the first of a few creek crossings we did. We passed a portion of WatervilleVillage before skirting the edge of Upper Pine Bottom State Park. You won't find any facilities in the state park, however just beyond is Dry Run Comfort Station. If you need to take a facilities break, here's the place to do it. Now these 'Comfort Stations' are really pit toilets, but they are really clean. The southern portion of the trail has facilities every few miles. We didn't stop at Dry Run Comfort Station, however just north of there we saw the first of several canoe launches. Canoeing and kayaking are very popular here. Once past Jersey Mills Village we began paralleling PA #414. The trail passes through a part of Tiadaghton State Forest here. Tiadaghton State Forest has well over fifty miles of hiking trails in it plus a portion of the 306 mile Mid State Trail, which crosses the state and connects the Maryland border to the West Rim Trail in Tioga county. If we wever get really serious about hiking, me and my girlfriends should come here. We made a rest stop at Cammal Village Comfort Station. I'm a tyoe-1 diabetic and when I do rides like this I have to pay really close attention to my sugars and soemtimes I need a snack break. I should mention that a lot of the geographic names are just points on a map. While this trail has ample pit stops and water pumps, there are almost no places along the trail to obtain food. Just to the east of Cammal Village Comfort Station is Little Pine State Park which also has canoeing, hiking and also camping. Most of the Pine Creek Rail Trail is located in a valley with some pretty good bluffs and slopes on either side. We pressed on and we eventually made our way to Hillborn Hills Comfort Station. This portion of the trail has campsites available for those doing the length. We decided to have our lunch break here. Gotta love good ole PB&J when biking or hiking--especially after it gets warm. And no Skippy for me either! I love the good ol' fashioned stuff where the oil rises to the top and you've gotta stir it before making your sandwich. This was our turnaround point too, being approximately the half way point. The entire trail is 60 miles in length and a one day round trip would have been impossible. And for this portion of the ride, we missed out on the most spectacular part--the remaining miles to Wellsboro. O' but stay tuned my friends, for we did tackle the remainder on another date.

Worlds End is another fantastic state park in Pennsylvania! There are a lot of sights to see and…read morethings to do. Unfortunately, the weather interfered with our ability to see as much as we had hoped, but we still had a great time! There is a nice visitor center with a variety of historic and nature info available, including some great info on the CCC work that took place in the park (there's a really nice interactive model of a CCC camp too) and how and where the park name is suspected to have been derived from. There is a real snake to look at, as well. A very nice playground is located nearby, and this section of the park also offers easy access to the Loysalsock Creek and the beach with a snack bar, plus multiple picnic tables and shelterhouses. It's beautiful even just to look at the valley walls and the creek itself. There are several gorgeous vistas available, some by foot and some by foot or car. We especially liked the Loyalsock Canyon Vista, which can be reached on foot or by car. It is located next to the Rock Garden, which is a very neat grouping of giant rocks and boulders that is a lot of fun to check out. The park also offers camping and plenty of trails. Worlds End is located within the Loyalsock State Forest, so there is also a lot more that one could explore in the area.

Ricketts Glen used to be my favorite PA state park, but World's End has totally won me over. The…read moremost important reasons: 1) The hikes here are a little more challenging, a little longer, and just generally more enjoyable for me. 2) The family campground is spacious - the tent sites and modern electric sites are interspersed, but you don't feel like you're right on top of the next site over. 3) The bathroom facilities are clean and warm, no matter what time of year I've visited. Big ups to maintenance and the camp hosts. 4) The camp hosts and visitors center personnel are fantastically kind and helpful. They obviously love this park. 5) Fun stuff like the Forksville General Store, Snack stands, swimming hike, Haystacks, Rock Garden, and all kinds of other interesting places to explore! I've been here with friends, with my family, and by myself, and I've thoroughly enjoyed each trip, so I'll definitely be back for more!

Ricketts Glen is a very special place for me and my family, and we have been visiting annually for…read moremany years. Lodging: My family likes to stay in the little cabins in the park. They have two or three bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a fire ring. They are fully furnished and climate controlled, which is nice in the winter and summer. However, there is no WiFi or cell service (unless you have A T and T) so be mindful of that when you book. I have never stayed at the campsites, so I cant speak for accommodations there. Activities: There's so much to do around the park, including boating or swimming at Lake Jean, exploring the many miles of trails, or having a family barbecue. The most famous trail in the park, the Falls Trail, is a must-hike for visitors. The trail can be steep, rocky, and slippery, and the main loop (not including the bottom three falls) runs about 5 miles, which is longer than the advertised distance, so be prepared. Bring good shoes and lots of water and expect some amazing views of the falls. The other trails in the park are also beautiful, albeit far less traveled. I did the 13 mile loop from cherry run to mountain springs road to the mountain springs trail, and it was a great distance and not too steep. We went past the old Lake Leigh dam breast and an unnamed waterfall with a nice swimming hole. The cherry run and mountain springs trails have lots of tall grass, so make sure to wear long pants in case of ticks. Additionally, the spring runs right through portions of the mountain springs trail, so be prepared to get your feet a little wet. I look forward to each year I get to go to Ricketts and even though I am sad I'm home, I'm super excited for next year!

For 3 years running The Plan has been to go to Acadia. First year: someone went to an international wedding of 500 people and got the Rona Second year: someone bought a big rig and rates were in the toilet Third year: Someone was tired and the planing was overwhelming I just knew this would be The Year. Sike - Rain and thunderstorms forecasted from May 27-June 4 and we had a campsite lmaaoooooo But one thing about me - I'm gon pivot every time. So we booked a Hipcamp and headed to PA instead. I wanted open land, dark skies, and opportunities to hike. Ricketts was only 10 minutes away!! All I knew about this park beforehand was that it was a waterfall paradise. We had our dog with us and arrived at Ricketts around 4pm on a Sunday. We checked out some of the small falls at the trailhead then did the Evergreen Trail. Beautiful view of Adams Falls, a lovely wooded walk through an old growth forest, and some climbs here and there to keep your heart rate up. I love when Wesley goes out on the trails - he sniffs everything, bounds ahead to scout the path, and patiently waits until I can clear obstacles. Still, given the height and uneven terrain of even this shorter trail in the park, I would likely return without him to take on some of the more challenging routes. Making sure he didn't fly off the ledge and I didn't fall off the stone steps had my nervous system on fire lol. I'm also old now and believe feet should always stay rooted to the floor. So yeah. The park is very dog friendly and we love that. But for me and mine, maybe we'll come solo next time. Summed Up: Beautiful Ethereal Calming Steep Heights Dog-friendly Free Do it!

Parking lot was clean but could use a trash can as there were some random items of trash littered all around. Also so many cigarette butts!!!!! Ew. There are a few small benches around and an information kiosk. The road to get here is 2 miles up the mountain on a narrow, very steep road. I probably wouldn't advise driving up here in a car, you need an suv atleast. There is also no signage on 555 for this. You have to know where to look. A hidden gem in the PA Wilds.

Checkin process was efficient. the pet carrier was like new, withplenty of airflow. We could have the top covered to keep out the sun or while biking along the shadier parts, open for the dogs to have more "View". This was a new experience for all of us. We decided to rent the bigger bikes which have lots more features & could hold all our gear. There is a basket attached to the front of the bike & it has a bag in it to store plenty of items you want handy..They do have a more standard bike, but we think the bigger one was the right way to go- we could adjust the handlebars to suit us & it has a rack on the back for a cooler (or if you have toddlers, apparently you can get it set up with Child seats for one or two to ride there). The trail is a nice, groomed one with plenty of benches along the route. There is a nice large park with picnic tables along the creek & there is a terrific waterfall that you can walk alongside of on a set of stairs. Ebikes are definitely the way to travel this trail so that you have time to take advantage of all the sights & then zip back if need be. There are no "services" other than washrooms along the way, so you need to take water & snacks to last the day. When we returned the bikes at the end of the day, Kim took the time to engage in a pleasant conversation

On the plus side, the park has a covered pavilion near the entrance. Also, the park has a lot of trees which provides shade on a walking trail that is dog-friendly. The park is connected to Canfield Island, which is a historic location for a Native American village. On the minus side, it did not have open, clear views of the river. Also, the gnats were ferocious in July. Perhaps a walk here in the winter or late fall would be more pleasant (better views of the river and fewer insects). But overall, it's not a bad place to visit in the summer for a walk.
