Summary: The trail starts out as a dirt road up the the top and down the slope. You will pass a food plot and as you come down the slope you will come to another food plot and cross a small stream. Just past the stream you will start up an incline then see a smaller trail going off to the left. This path will have you walking close to the stream and will come back to the parking area. Trailhead: From Rt 11 and 15 at Duncannon get on Rt 274 West about 6 miles. You will see a State Game Lands sign by a old Church Cemetary. Go up the dirt road to the third parking area and start on the road past the gate.

Reviewed by J.B-n-M.B. on 9/18/2005 The trail was nice enough and was a pretty walk through the woods but we ended up hiking MUCH further than two miles. We followed closely the directions to the trailhead but ended up hiking down to another parking area TWO miles from our car! It was almost dark and we had our two small (5 & 6 years) children with us. If not for the kindness of strangers who gave us a ride back to our car we'd still be hiking! The guy who gave us a ride said we'd walked at least four miles and maybe as far as five. We will go back and hike it again but start from the first "State Game Lands Parking Area" about 1.5 miles before the church cemetary off 274W and do an out and back. Sleeping in the woods with no bedding is NOT the way we like to end a hik Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
