Watch the informational signs. This trail area is ungroomed and
includes a combination of logging roads, railroad grades, and pipelines
that offer challenges to a wide range of skill levels--from the novice to
the most experienced skier. The Reservoir Loop is suitable for beginning
skiers. The Deer Lick and Pipeline Loops are better suited for more
experienced schussers. The Reservoir Loop offers a scenic view of Deer
Lick Reservoir as you come down Deer Lick Run. Deer Lick Loop forms a loop
inside the Pipeline Loop and offers a higher level of challenge. The
Pipeline Loop offers the most challenge as it climbs to the headwaters of
Deer Lick and Roystone Runs. The hemlocks down along Deer Lick Run offer
visual variety in contrast to the Northern and Allegheny Hardwoods on the
hillsides and up the plateau. Wildlife is abundant in this area; watch for
turkey, deer, squirrels and birds, particularly down along Deer Lick Run.
Directions:
The trailhead and parking area is located at the intersection of
Tollgate Road and US 6, east of Sheffield, PA.
