Once the trail reaches Jacks Run, it loops back eastward and
climbs in and out of several small valleys along the way.
Camp overnight as you enjoy the Hickory Creek Wilderness, or make a long
day trip through the wilderness.
The trail currently blazed infrequently with yellow paint on tree blazes,
but is in the process of being changed to unpainted tree blazes in order to
be more compatible with a wilderness designation. Normal wilderness
regulations apply, including no motorized vehicles or equipment use of any
kind. Forest trail policy prohibits the use if a saddle, pack or draft
animal on hiking trails.
Directions:
The trailhead parking lot is located at the picnic area within Hearts
Content Recreation Area, 15 miles southwest of Warren, PA. US 6 and Township
Road T3005 meet in the middle of Warren at the Hickory Street Bridge. TR
3005 begins here, crossing the Allegheny River toward Warren General
Hospital (bear left away from the hospital after you cross the bridge).
Follow TR 3005 about 11 miles to its junction with a marked township road
which leads to Hearts Content Recreation Area (four miles).
