Allegheny
National Forest
Length: 10.8 miles
This 17 kilometer (10.8 mile) loop trail offers a pleasant 2-3 day
backpacking experience or a shorter day hike. This trail leads to Morrison
Campground.
You travel through Management Area 6.1 and 6.2 (a designation by the ANF
Land and Resource Management Plan). Both management areas emphasize the
semi-primitive, non-motorized recreation setting and provide vegetation
management that favor wildlife species such as turkey and bear.

In the 6.2
area, the southern half of the trail area, vegetation management activity
will only occur for one decade every 40 years. A portion of the trail on the
north section will parallel an oak regeneration area, which is fenced to
exclude deer and improve the oak seedling growth.
Directions:
The trailhead parking lot is located off SR 59, 16 miles east of Warren,
PA and 17 miles from Bradford, PA. This trail is located on the Longhouse
National Scenic Byway, a 29 mile loop with abundant outdoor recreation sites
and scenic vistas around the Allegheny Reservoir.
