Lackawanna State Forest
The Pinchot Trail is a 23 mile loop-type footpath in the Lackawanna State
Forest. Backpack campers and hikers will find this trail on the Pocono
Plateau challenging, exciting and beautiful. It offers everything from a
scenic overlook of expansive forests, a path sheltered by hemlocks next to a
gurgling creek, to bog areas which contain some plants not common to
Pennsylvania.
The trail is blazed in orange. Although the entire trail can be hiked in
one day by an experienced hiker in good physical condition, most hikers
prefer to take two or more days. |
