Ricketts Glen
State Park
Length: 4.0 miles
Rating: Moderate
Heading off of the beaten path, this trail will take you on a 4-mile
hike past the old Lake Leigh dam, the forgotten falls, and down the south
branch of Bowmans Creek to the serene Mountain Springs Lake area.
This area is actually in Luzerne County, but since some of Ricketts
Glen State Park is in Sullivan County, this area will be included here.
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.
