Watch the informational signs. This trail offers challenges to a wide
range of skill levels as it drops dramatically from the plateau to the
Allegheny River. Overnight camping is available at the Hearts Content
Recreation Area.
Tanbark Trail is unique in that it offers hikers the opportunities to tie
into other trails or visit unique areas on the Allegheny National Forest.
The Tanbark Trail ties into the North Country National Scenic Trail. At the
Hearts Content Recreation Area, the hiker has the opportunity to take a
short loop trail through the Hearts Content National Scenic Area or even
enter the Hickory Creek Wilderness for a two-day hike via the Hickory Creek
Trail.

Trailhead parking is located at a pull-off on US 62 halfway between
Tidioute or Warren, or at Dunham Siding which is on the Hearts Content Road
at the junction of FR 116 and 119. From Warren or Tidioute, take US 62 to
its junction with Hearts Content Road. From Sheffield, take the Austin Hill
