Black Forest Trail, Hiking trail in Tiadaghton State Forest, Pennsylvania, US.
The Black Forest Trail extends 43 miles through dense woodlands, featuring numerous mountain streams, steep climbs, and multiple vista points across Pennsylvania's terrain.
The trail's name stems from the dense virgin hemlock trees that previously grew in the area, preventing sunlight from reaching the forest floor before logging operations.
Local outdoor recreation groups maintain the trail markings and camping areas, fostering a community dedicated to preserving this natural corridor for future generations.
Hikers need to carry water filters, food supplies, and proper camping gear, as the trail includes over twenty creek crossings and requires three to four days to complete.
The path accumulates 8,550 feet of elevation gain throughout its length, making it one of Pennsylvania's most physically demanding recreational hiking circuits.
