Stumpfield Trail

Parker Dam State Park

Length:  0.5 miles
Rating: Easy
Blaze: None

Begin at the campground amphitheater and traverse a meadow that was once a forest of pine and hemlock. Look for large stumps left from logging at the turn of the 20^th century. Stunted trees and thick shrubs are evidence of repeated wildfires that destroyed topsoil and slowed forest regrowth. This trail connects with Logslide Trail via a gas line.

Directions:

Parker Dam State Park is in northern Clearfield County. From Interstate 80, take Exit 18 onto Route 153 North for 5.5 miles. Turn right onto Mud Run Road, and then drive 2.5 miles to the park.
