Old Loggers Path, Hiking trail in Lycoming County, US.
Old Loggers Path is a 27-mile circular hiking route through dense forest in Loyalsock State Forest in Lycoming County. The trail follows multiple streams and passes through areas with views of Pleasant Stream and the McIntyre Wild Area.
The path follows old transport routes used by the Central Pennsylvania Lumber Company in the early 1900s. Remnants of logging operations from that era can still be seen along the trail today.
The trail connects to the ghost town of Masten, which stands as a testament to the once-active logging communities that operated in Pennsylvania's northern tier.
The orange-marked route requires hikers to carry sufficient water and plan water refill stops at Rock Run, Pleasant Stream, and Wallis Run. Good navigation and proper preparation help ensure a safe trip through the forest.
During winter months, Ellenton remains the only accessible entry point as other approach roads become blocked by heavy snow. This makes winter hiking an adventure that requires advance planning and flexibility.
