McKean County Pennsylvania Ski Trails

Westline Cross Country Ski Area

Allegheny National Forest

Length:  9.8 miles

This 15.6 kilometer (9.8 mile) ungroomed trail system was completed in 1991 with the use of cooperative inmate prison labor from FCI-McKean. These trails were specifically designed for the enjoyment of cross country skiers of all skill levels.

The two-way trail system traverses a combination of logging trails, pipelines and forest routes which offer challenges to a wide range of skill levels -- from the novice to the most experienced skier. 

The Short Circuit Loop, with its gentle rolling terrain, is especially designed for the beginning skier and also provides a terrific warm-up run for anyone. Inside-Out and Boo-Boo's Delight Loops will suit more experienced schussers, who will enjoy the up and down-hill grades and scenic views of the headwaters of Thundershower Run. Ledges Loop offers large rock outcroppings along the ridge, making this an enticing trail to explore. The Thundershower Trail offers the most experienced skiers a beautiful view of Thundershower Run as it flows into Westline -- a small village which once supported a sawmill, a chemical wood factory and two railroads. Wildlife is abundant in this ski area; watch for turkey, deer, squirrels and birds, especially along Thundershower Run and its headwaters.

This trail is for hiking, skiing and mountain biking.  Motorized vehicles, ATVs and snowmobiles, are not allowed on any of the trails.  Forest trails policy prohibits the use of a saddle, pack or draft animals on hiking or cross county ski trails.    All dogs must be on leashes when using the trail.

Directions:

The trailhead parking lot is located 11 miles south of Bradford via US 219 and SR 59 approximately 1/8 mile off of FR 455.
