Backpacking Old Loggers Path - Pennsylvania

Ойын-сауық

Old Loggers Path is a 27 mile loop located in the Loyalsock State Forest area of north-central PA. I'd rate this trail a 10 for Pennsylvania and encourage everyone to take a visit at what this place has to offer. Go off trail at the sound of waterfalls for some great swimming holes. Plenty of water and campsites this is really a hidden gem of Pennsylvania.
Parking: 41.507209, -76.820814
Trail starts close to the parking lot; I went clockwise but I suggest going counter-clockwise because I think the elevation would work out better though there isn't much.
Day 1: 11.2 miles - Camp near only major stream crossing
Day 2: 15.9 miles

The views were definitely great and the trail in general was very well maintained. We didn’t see any rattlesnakes on our trip but we were looking for them. Like you mentioned though it was such a peaceful hike and so beautiful. We were lucky enough to do it during the weekdays so traffic was slim to none. Would definitely do the trip again but maybe go counter clockwise next time to change it up a bit.

    Excellent video Jason. Glad you finally got out on a trip in this crazy year. I also just purchased a tent to supplement my standard hammock setup. I must say I also noticed the significant temperature difference in the tent versus the hammock. Hopefully this will be a plus on cold trips haha. I'm pretty jealous of your swim in Rock Run. That is probably the most beautiful stream section I've seen on the trail but it has been quite cold the two times I've done the OLP so swimming wasn't an option. Hopefully you don't have to wait nine months for your next trip!

    This trail was my first ever weekend trip, I highly recommend anyone that can get it to to do it at some point. I would love to do it again next year now that my base weight is half of what it was back then and I switched to a hammock system! I also did it clockwise, and I feel like if you are gonna do it over three days that's the best. There are awesome campsites at mile 10 and 21, and then an easy 6 to finish the trip. CCW might be best for a two day to even out the elevation.
