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

The Pine Creek Gorge is nicknamed the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, and it certainly possesses its…read moreshare of dramatic views. There are a lot of ways to enjoy the area. The Pine Creek Rail Trail runs through the base of the gorge itself, which can be accessed by driving partway down to the parking areas and then hiking or biking in. Or you could opt to take some challenging hikes down the sides of the canyon to the bottom from one of the trailheads at the state parks located on the east (Leonard Harrison) or west (Colton Point) rims. Leonard Harrison State Park offers more amenities, with a visitor's center, and souvenirs and snacks during the busy season, while Colton Point is a bit more basic with picnic tables and overlooks. There is also a covered wagon tour available through Ole Covered Wagon Tours that provide another way to enjoy the base of the canyon, along with a knowledgeable tour guide who can provide information on the history, geology, and nature in the area. If you're unfamiliar with the area, be aware that rattlesnakes and black bears live here.

Great hiking trails great views and overall a nice place to visit. The town nearby is also a great place to shop and grab something to eat. Be sure to plot everything by GPS there is minimal wireless Anal in the area probably because of how this place aligned with the Earth's magnetic field, regardless don't get lost and try not fall off. I have this place 3 Ninja stars because it was nothing close to Grand Canyon. This gorge is just that, a gorge and nothing near as close to a grand canyon.

There's a moment that I know you've had. That moment when you look into someone's face and their…read moreexpression immediately tells you that you are screwed, even before they speak a word. This happened to me on Wednesday at the Little Pine Campground when I said to the receptionist Kate, "Hi , I'm Jim Hasson. I reserved a Yurt for the next few days!" That expression I mentioned above hit me immediately, telling me there was a problem...and there was. "Uh sir, those Yurts have been booked through the summer, " she explained, as a doctor would tell you that a loved one just died, " I believe I noticed that you rented a Pavilion for the next 3 days." Let me rewind to a few weeks earlier. My friend Steve and I decided to go on a mini camping trip. Since it was short noticed and we had little camping gear, I decided we should try and get some kind of cabin. Since I'm cheap I downloaded the PA State Park app and scoured it for something to reserve. It was hard to find a cabin, most required a week stay and were already booked. I then found something called a Yurt, it was like a little furnished Tee pee and it fit our needs. I booked it for the 2 nights immediately. Many will remember my post about wondering why it didn't include 2 nights and we had to check in at 8amWed and check out at 8pm Thurs. I won't rehash it here but consider this one of the red flags that led to our downfall. I even contacted a human to ask about it. Not someone at Little Pine (if only!) but just some operator in their data base. She had me book an extra night. But big deal, because my buddy Steve and I were going camping! Except maybe we weren't. We stood in the park office getting the bad news from Kate, with a car full of camping supplies (not a tent) and a load of recently purchased groceries, some of them perishable, in need of the mini fridge we thought we'd be getting with the Yurt. As I was being told we rented a Pavilion for 3 days- Kate: We were all wondering what kind of cult event was going on for 3 days at a pavilion! - I had images of Steve and I on sleeping bags on picnic tables or maybe building some kind of fort with them. But Kate, to her credit, sprung into action. (Glowing Yelp review to follow). She got on the phone and began calling around to anywhere local where we could find a tent or cottage. Unfortunately it was fruitless but I still love her for trying. Finally, she called park maintenance and had them set us up a tent, that they luckily had in storage. Between Kate, the maintenance guy (whose name I wish I had asked) and a Ranger named Jeb, we were well taken care of and our trip was not only saved but enhanced (now we were kind of really roughing it!). The error was chalked up to a crappy interface for their App, a faceless 1-888 number that knows nothing about the actual parks and my own stupidity and bad luck. We were refunded the yurt/pavilion fee and just paid for a campsite which was all considerably cheaper. I was so happy that I wouldn't be sleeping on a park bench that I happily exclaimed to Kate on my way out, "If anyone wants to use our Pavilion, they are more than welcome!" While in the car on the way to one of our many side trips that day, I was feeling a bit guilty that the one thing I was in charge of got ruined, I tried to apologize to Steve, "I'm sorry man, I don't know what happened. I guess it's because I'd never rented a Yurt before" Steve, in his infinite wisdom, simply replied, "Well, technically , you still haven't."

It was very buggy when we arrived (late July) but the weather turned cooler and we had beautiful weather for our four night stay. There was no sewer or water hookup at our site but the bathhouse was close. We walked some of the trails and everything was beautiful. We brought kayaks but the water we paddled in by the dam was just ok. Lots of vegetation close to the surface, etc. We stayed to visit friends nearby. Dogs are welcome but they don't want you walking them by the no-pet sites, which is a little awkward.

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.
