Loyalsock Trail to Little Bear Road Loop

Smith's Knob is a short, but fairly challenging section of the overall Loyalsock Trail. Smith's Knob has a distinctively round peak, and viewed from Rider Park, sticks out to all very easily.

The trails are very well-marked and quickly begin the uphill climb at a very steady pace. After about a mile, yo...
