The name Loyalsock Creek is taken from the Indian phrase "Lawi-Saquick,"
meaning middle creek, or flowing between Muncy Creek and Lycoming Creek.
Loyalsock Creek has its start in Wyoming County and ends at Montoursville,
where it empties into the Susquehanna River.

The Loyalsock Trail, a wilderness footpath, runs from PA 87, 10 miles
north of Montoursville, to U.S. 220 at Ringdale, a distance of 59.3 miles.
The trail parallels the creek, mostly following ridges, but at times passing
mountain streams, waterfalls, lakes, and ponds. The Loyalsock Trail is known
for its many fine vistas.
The Loyalsock Trail is maintained by the Alpine Club of Williamsport. The
group marks the main trail with painted 2" x 6" yellow rectangles on which
is a 1" horizontal red stripe. Side trail markers are painted yellow with a
red X. Lead-in trails are marked with blue metal discs. White-marked trails
are not brushed.
In cooperation with DCNR, sections of this trail are maintained, in part,
by volunteers from the Alpine Club of Williamsport.
Directions:
The park is along PA 154 and is easily reached from: PA 87 from
Williamsport and west; PA 42 from I-80 and south; and PA 87 from Dushore and
the north and east.
