Loop Hike of the Penn Forest Tract of Weiser State ForestA loop hike through the Weiser State Forest
This hike is planned in support of the Keystone Trails Association (KTA) Spring Hiking Weekend in Jim Thorpe. https://www.kta-hike.org/spring-hiking-weekend-2018.html
This loop hike will cover most trails within the Penn Forest Tract. Trails range from fire roads and power line trails to more rugged forest trails. Some trails may be very muddy.
Please bring 2+ liters of water and snacks and wear sturdy hiking boots. Trekking poles and sunscreen are also recommended.
To find this parking lot - if you’re coming from Jim Thorpe drive north on 903 and follow that until you reach the PA NE Extension. If you’re on the PA Turnpike NE Extension there is an exit for Route 903 North that accepts EZPass only, no cash. Once on 903 North turn right at the first intersection after the PA Turnpike interchange and then another immediate right onto Dogwood Drive. That will turn into Stony Mountain Road and weave through a development. Follow that until the road takes a hard left turn and then the parking lot is about a half mile ahead on your right. There’s a very clear sign for Penn Forest Tract Weiser Forest District at the parking lot.
