Guide to the Pinchot Trail System

Description

The 22.2-mile Pinchot Trail is an orange-blazed loop through Pinchot State Forest in southern Lackawanna County. The trail was formed from previously existing trails and a few new connectors in the 1970s by local volunteer Frank Gantz. The southeastern segment of the trail was relocated in 2018 to reach the popular Choke Creek Falls. The main loop is bisected by the paved Bear Creek Road, and by using that road hikers can form a sub-loop of 9.8 miles on the northern section, or a sub-loop of 13.3 miles on the southern section. This book includes point-by-point directions for the trail.
