Calling all trail enthusiasts!
Some of the most popular and iconic trails in Pennsylvania make their way through Elk State Forest and those beloved trails need your financial support.
First, there are bridge and boardwalk redecking projects:
*Quehanna Trail (Red Run)
*Quehanna Trail (Laurel Draft)
*Quehanna Multi-Use Trail (Wykoff Run)
*Thunder Mountain Equestrian Trail (both Chase and Dark Hollow)
Then there is the southern section of the Bucktail Path that needs to be rerouted from private property onto the State Forest and State Park lands--the goal is to connect to the Donut Hole Trail northeast of Sinnemahoning.
The Forest would like to establish adaptive (universal) recreational facilities:
*Woodland Trail systems with a level (slight) grade for standard or transport wheelchairs
*Adaptive cross-country ski trails
*Adaptive mountain biking trails (aMTB)
Finally, there is a needed general trail maintenance and blazing; improvements to the camping areas; trailhead and parking resurfacing; and signage updates for the trails and campsites, including a new interpretive kiosk.
There are lots of projects and your help in making them happen is critical!
