Hike the Big Rocks-Sproul State Forest

This short hike explores large boulders and cliffs in the beautiful Sproul State Forest. The trail is blazed yellow, was well maintained when I hiked it, and is a loop not more than a half mile long. It is an ideal trail for kids.

The trail is on a side road off of Barney Ridge Road, about a mile from PA 144. The dirt road is narrow, but in good shape. The side road to the trail is a little rockier, but a car can handle it. Park at 41.253144, -77.785947.

I hiked the trail counterclockwise. The trail passes massive boulders and climbs between some cliffs. It then follows the top of the cliffs, with a partial view. The trail then makes a rocky descent and meanders among some more gigantic boulders. It is worth going off the trail to experience the rocks. The trail completes the loop at the parking area.
