Ricketts Glen
State Park
Length: 9.0 miles
Rating: Moderate
Horse riders may enjoy taking a 9-mile loop by riding the
Cherry Run Trail, Fish Commission Road, and
Mountain Springs Trail. Sights to see include; old railroad grades,
Mountain Springs Lake (formerly used to make ice), and an old concrete dam
once used to hold back Lake Leigh (now a dry lake).
Directions:
The park is 30 miles north of Bloomsburg on PA 487. The section of PA
487 from the town of Red Rock to the Lake Jean area of the park is a very
steep road. Heavy trailer units should avoid this hill and enter the park
by taking PA 487 south from Dushore.
