Black Forest Trail


The Black Forest Trail is a 42-mile hiking trail built by the DCNR Bureau of Forestry. It utilizes old railroad grades, logging trails, and foot trails to traverse some of the most spectacular terrain in Pennsylvania. Portions of this trail follow foot paths originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. A trail map and guide is available from the district office.
