Butler County Pennsylvania Hiking Trails

Massasauga Trail

 

Located within Jennings Environmental Education Center the 0.47 mile Massasauga Trail is rated moderate Starting in the prairie but soon entering a mixed hardwood forest of predominately oak and hickory, this trail provides an excellent opportunity to view squirrel activity. The dry forest soon drops into the damp, scenic Big Run Valley for a short time before rising again to meet Deer Trail.

The eastern prairie is a rare ecosystem that is home to the endangered massasauga rattlesnake. Although this small and reclusive snake is very timid, it is venomous and visitors should be careful when walking through its home. Remain on the mowed paths and stay alert to reduce the chances of an encounter

The Jennings Environmental Education Center is 12 miles north of Butler, PA on PA Route 528. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. The grounds are open from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week, for hiking and other nature-related activities.
