Located
within Moraine State Park
the 2.6 mile Pleasant Valley Trail is marked with a Yellow Blaze
and is rated easy. Access to this trail is directly across Pleasant Valley Road from the
Pleasant Valley Picnic Area. This mowed trail offers an easy hike through
the hills and valleys of the South Shore. Pleasant Valley Trail provides
access to both the Windy Knob and Bear Run picnic areas, crosses the
Hilltop Trail, and ends at the intersection with
Sunken
Garden Trail. Making a left on the Sunken Garden Trail will return you
to the trailhead. The trail passes through wooded and open grassy area.
Pleasant Valley Trail is available for both
hiking and cross country skiing.
Located in northwestern Pennsylvania near the
crossroads of I-79 and I-80, Moraine State Park is bisected by
PA 422 running east/west and PA 528 running north/south. To
access the South Shore Recreation Area, take the South Shore
Exit of PA 422. To access the North Shore from PA 422 East, take
the North Shore Exit. There is no access to the North Shore from
PA 422 headed east from I-79, so, take the South Shore Exit, get
onto PA 422 West and take the North Shore Exit.
