Old Loggers Path
Old Loggers Path
Details
From the PA DNCR web page: They can describe it better than I. There are a number of sites that describe the trip as well, and a few videos online without giving out all of the details.
"The trail is a 27.1 mile long circuit trail located in northeastern Lycoming County. The starting point is located approximately 2.7 miles Southwest of Ellenton on Legislative Route 41110. The trail is located entirely on State Forest Lands, land that had formerly belonged to the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Co. The trail layout has taken advantage of the engineering expertise of the early logging railroaders as it follows the grades. The highlights of the trail are the many cuts & fills on the grades, Rock Run (one of the prettiest streams in Pennsylvania), the vistas that look into the McIntyre Wild Area, Pleasant Stream and the LoyalsockTrail region."

This sounds like a nice spring trail, and doing it in three days will not be stressful. It is a loop, and we will have to decide on a starting point and overnight spots. A number of roads are closed due to storm damage, but we can drive around these. If there are any questions, I will try and this with the answers.
Directions
Masten is a ghost town and this is the usual starting point, but we may have to find another one. There has been a number of roads washed out due to storm damage last fall, of which I have a list but no exact locations were given. So as to directions, we will have to be flexible.
