Long, winding trails throughout the park allows one to see the great variety of plants and animals that call this slice of PA home. Many available locations to camp overnight off of the trail. A great place to experience the changing of the autumn leaves. Plenty of creeks and streams for backpackers to refill their bottles. Not much variability in the trails elevation. Plenty of parking spots make it good for day hiking and extended trips

I started this trail 830am Saturday and ended the 26 miles on just the Pinchot trail by 300pm Sunday! This is an excellent single track trail for beginners to experienced backpackers! The trail is very well blazed in orange every couple of hundred feet making it extremely easy to follow! There are lots of water sources available along this trail! I did this trail memorial day weekend after heavy rain and the north loop was drier and had more ticks than the south loop! The south loop was very muddy and at times the trail was like a small running creek! For me that made this trail even more fun! It was nice walking along the water on the south loop and being able to see choke creek falls after a heavy rain was absolutely awesome! Great spot to have some lunch! I look forward to doing this trail again and making time to do the side trails blazed in yellow!

The Pro's: easy hike, we went out and back with young kids. There are a few clearings where the kids could explore a little. Well marked trail. The con's: very slim, barely (if at all) maintained path (choke Creek nature trail). No real payoff and so sense on either side of the trail no real chance to see the forest around you.

This was a great overnight hike. Trail was not bad though very muddy in spots. Some very picturesque spots.
