North Country Trail: Lucinda to Kellettville

Right from its entry point, the Seneca Trail parallels the Clarion River, granting you a scenic view the whole way through. This trail is challenging in its narrow footpath and lofty climb. Be careful while looking around at the towering hemlocks and white pines.Atop the trails peak, the burn in your legs will fade as your remaining steps to the Cook Forest Fire Tower will be fairly flat. It's ...

The trailhead is located next to the Minister Creek Campground, which is 14.7 miles southwest from the town of Sheffield, via state route 666. If coming from the west on highway 62, the trailhead is located 20 miles from West Hickory along state route 666.

It will be enough time for most, but for others, there will never be enough time.Depending on which direction you are coming from, I recommend taking the route past Lock Haven and through Renovo, following 120 to 555. In th...

The Quehanna Wild Area is an amazing place and Table Falls is one of the easy to get to spots to explore. There is a small parking for a couple cars on the forest road, Red Run Road. The road will have a U bend over Paige Run and parking is just after the bridge. There is a sign and some blazes that lead you on a short hike to the falls.   Paige Run is beautiful and photogenic, take time to e...
