← PA CM 13 CAMERON COUNTY OBSERVATION WELL CM 13 CAMERON COUNTY OBSERVATION WELL Triple Blaze →

Description

Several trails offer a chance to observe some of the more remote areas of the park. The Red Spruce Trail is about one mile long and runs from the campground to the Forty Maples Picnic Area. For one-third of its length it passes through a mixed hardwood forest, then traverses an old field converted to a spruce plantation. Venomous snakes (rattlesnakes) may be encountered in this area. Low Lands Trail was originally part of the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad. It is an easy hike through thick spruce, grassy openings, vernal ponds, streamside bottoms and ends at the Wildlife Viewing Area at the north end of the park. There are lots of opportunities along this trail to spot grassland birds, osprey, elk and butterflies.
