EMHR’s Ricketts Glen Day Hike

May 9, 2026

Join Endless Mountains Heritage Region and visit Ricketts Glen State Park on Saturday, May
9, at 1 p.m. at 695 PA-487, Benton, PA 17814. Participants are asked to meet at the Cherry
Run Trailhead for sign in. Parking for this adventure can be found at Beach Parking lot #2
which can be found by following Park Road after entering and passing the Ricketts Glen
park office.

The Cherry Run Loop is about 5.5 miles long and considered moderate on AllTrails. The
loop will take about 3 hours in total to complete. Participants will see Lake Leigh Dam along
the trail, as with a couple of smaller waterfalls. This trail may be muddy at this time of year,
so please wear sensible shoes (hiking boots or comfortable sneakers) and dress for the
weather. Make sure to bring enough water for the duration of the hike.

Though this event is free and open to the public, EMHR asks if you plan to attend, please
register by Thursday, May 7, for planning purposes.
