The trail layout has taken advantage of the engineering expertise of the
early logging railroaders as it follows the grades. The highlights of the
trail are the many cuts & fills on the grades, Rock Run (one of the
prettiest streams in Pennsylvania), the vistas that look into the McIntyre
Wild Area, Pleasant Stream and the Loyalsock Trail region.
The trail is blazed in orange. The trail area as well as many of the
trail areas of Pennsylvania have been written up in a historical series of
logging railroad books of Pennsylvania. The book that covers this region is
called "Ghost Lumber Towns of Central Pennsylvania." It includes Masten
which is the starting point of the Old Loggers Path.
In cooperation with DCNR, sections of this trail are maintained, in part,
by volunteers from the Keystone Trails Association.
