All trails are marked with colored tree blazes approximately 20 feet apart. The Laurel Highlands are characterized by large deposits of Pottsville Sandstone which makes our trails very rocky. Please use caution and stay on the trails.

Red Trail
1.2 mile loop, very strenuous
Following Jacob’s creek and clambering up steep hillsides, this strenuous hike is a camp favorite. The trail goes by a cave and petrified log (look for the PET LOG sign.) Stop for a rest atop Split Rock, an ancient sandstone boulder with a spectacular view.

Silver Trail
1.3 miles, very strenuous
Continuing on from the red trail, the silver trail winds, weaves and climbs to a beautiful mountaintop view atop Laurelville’s Pine Run property, where on a clear day you can see Pittsburgh's city skyline some 45 miles in the distance.
*Please note that this hike includes a steep ascent (500 ft. over half a mile) with considerable erosion. Use caution when hiking this trail.
