Black
Moshannon State Park
Length: 11.0 mile loop
On its way through the Black Moshannon Bog Natural Area, this trail
travels through pine plantations, hemlock bottomland, spruce groves,
hardwood forests, grassy openings, blueberry patches and beaver ponds in
all stages of succession. Waterproof footwear is recommended, since some
sections are often wet. Two boardwalk sections allow exploration of a big
marsh and an alder swamp. The best blueberry areas are near this trail
(late July to September).
