Cameron County Pennsylvania Hiking Trails
Quehanna Trail
|
|
Rating: Strenuous
The Quehanna Trail is a 75-mile loop trail in the Moshannon and Elk State
Forests. The Trail passes through some of the most wild and beautiful
country Pennsylvania has to offer. The 9,790 feet of vertical rise may offer
a real challenge to even experienced Backpackers.
The main orange blazed trail begins on the western end at Parker Dam
State Park. From Parker Dam the trail goes east into the Quehanna Wild Area
toward Karthaus and Piper, then north toward Sinnemahoning and finally west
through the Marion Brooks Natural Area back to Parker Dam.

There are two blue blazed cross-connector trails and numerous blue blazed
side trails that add another 30 miles of trails so that the casual or avid
hiker may spend a few hours or a few days enjoying the beauty of the
Quehanna Wild Area. These additional 30 miles of blue blazed trails helps
hikers to fashion shorter circuit hikes and enjoy many beautiful sights off
the main orange trail.
In cooperation with DCNR, sections of this trail are maintained, in part,
by volunteers from the Quehanna Area Trails Club.
