Old Bulldozer Road Trail
|
|
Ricketts Glen State Park
Length: 2.9 miles
Rating: Strenuous
With its unique name (once used by a bulldozer to get to the top of the
mountain to build the park), comes quite an elevation change. Accessed from
the parking lot on PA 118, this trail is used by hikers and snowmobiles to
access Mountain Springs Trail. Although most of the trail is easy to
moderate hiking, a short section just up from the bottom is very steep.

Directions:
The park is 30 miles north of Bloomsburg on PA 487. The section of PA 487
from the town of Red Rock to the Lake Jean area of the park is a very steep
road. Heavy trailer units should avoid this hill and enter the park by
taking PA 487 south from Dushore.
