Morrison Hiking Trail

Allegheny National Forest

Length:  10.8 miles

This 17 kilometer (10.8 mile) loop trail offers a pleasant 2-3 day backpacking experience or a shorter day hike. This trail leads to Morrison Campground.

You travel through Management Area 6.1 and 6.2 (a designation by the ANF Land and Resource Management Plan). Both management areas emphasize the semi-primitive, non-motorized recreation setting and provide vegetation management that favor wildlife species such as turkey and bear. In the 6.2 area, the southern half of the trail area, vegetation management activity will only occur for one decade every 40 years. A portion of the trail on the north section will parallel an oak regeneration area, which is fenced to exclude deer and improve the oak seedling growth.

Directions:

The trailhead parking lot is located off SR 59, 16 miles east of Warren, PA and 17 miles from Bradford, PA. This trail is located on the Longhouse National Scenic Byway, a 29 mile loop with abundant outdoor recreation sites and scenic vistas around the Allegheny Reservoir.
