Fall Foliage Hike at Mt. Pisgah State Park

October is the month of leaf-peeping in Pennsylvania! Join the Endless Mountains Heritage Region on Saturday, Oct. 11, for a leaf-peeping free pop-up day hike at Mt. Pisgah State Park, located between Troy and Towanda. We will meet at the pavilion on Stephen Foster Lake (41.8045408, -76.6662854), right by the playground and pool. We will meet at 1 p.m. for an approximate 4-mile hike combining the Oh! Susanna and Mill Stream Trails within the State Park, and do a figure eight loop. Difficulty level for this hike is considered easy to moderate with these trails.

Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear (hiking shoes or boots) and have a sufficient supply of water with them.

DCNR ranger Richard Guylas will join the group along with Dr. Bob Hansen, a retired forester and former professor, to discuss tree identification and fall foliage colors located throughout the park.  Participants will have the option to walk a portion of the loop and then part with Dr. Hansen and Mr. Guylas. 

The event is free and open to the public! We just ask that you please register for this event so that we may get a headcount for the hike and prepare accordingly.
