Description
easy to moderate trail with great seclusion. You start out in a trail head that is an old growth forest with white pine trees perfectly planted in rows in every direction. Very cool if never seen before. Recommend going in the north and leaving the south. Great camping between mile 5.5-7. Experienced the most amazing thunderstorm in summer of 05. Like never before. Good training trail. No water source other than at trailhead. Camping allowed anywhere...leave no trace

Directions to Hike
From Pittsburgh 79 North to 80 east to Franklin City- 62 north to rt 6 east to warren, PA
