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!

The only downside about Group site is that there are no showers in the bathhouse and there are no water pumps anywhere! In the park, there is a lake where you can swim, kayaks that you can rent, and the visitor center even has fishing poles that you can borrow! The Falls trail is what attracts most people to this great park. It's about a 4 mile hike to see all of them and every step is worth it! I've never seen or stayed in the cabins. I decided to check them out today before leaving. They are beautiful, have great views, and look like they fit six people. Will definitely keep this in mind for next time.

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.

Every September there is…read morea 100 mile ultramarathon that runs through the rail trail, and I've completed the challenge 5 times. I am well versed on many different zones of this trail and HIGHLY recommend utilizing it. Cyclists, runners, walkers, and numerous wildlife abounds. I've spotted porcupines, deer, eagles, and various fungi. I've heard other accounts of bear sightings as well. The trail is best described as desolate and vacuous, with intermittent and well maintained outhouses when nature calls. Although desolate, you can easily integrate yourself back into civilization at certain points, however, make sure you are well stocked with water and nourishment. The only location of a general store is at cedar run village. I would recommend cycling from Wellsboro junction to Blackwell and back (about 50 miles). You will pass through farms, streams, a playground, and various campgrounds. If you're feeling even more confident going all the way down to Cammal. There is a quaint church there that is very old.

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.
