Bucktail Path, Hiking trail in Cameron County, Pennsylvania, US.
Bucktail Path is a hiking trail that runs through Elk State Forest in northwestern Pennsylvania. The route connects Sizerville State Park to Sinnemahoning and crosses hilly terrain with numerous stream crossings.
The area was originally inhabited by Native Americans and later became historically significant during the Civil War era. The nearby Bucktail Regiment was a notable military unit from that period.
The trail is popular with hikers from the surrounding region who practice outdoor recreation traditions of the area. The hiking community regularly shares tips and experiences about the route.
The trail requires preparation due to steep climbs and stream crossings without bridges. Good footwear and hiking experience are important for this challenging path.
Roughly halfway along the route stands Brooks Run Fire Tower, an active observation post that monitors the forest. This location offers an unexpected vantage point along the otherwise wild path.
