Details
Additional Details:
Watch the informational signs. This trail area is ungroomed and includes a combination of logging roads, railroad grades, and pipelines that offer challenges to a wide range of skill levels--from the novice to the most experienced skier. The Reservoir Loop is suitable for beginning skiers. The Deer Lick and Pipeline Loops are better suited for more experienced schussers. The Reservoir Loop offers a scenic view of Deer Lick Reservoir as you come down Deer Lick Run. Deer Lick Loop forms a loop inside the Pipeline Loop and offers a higher level of challenge. The Pipeline Loop offers the most challenge as it climbs to the headwaters of Deer Lick and Roystone Runs. The hemlocks down along Deer Lick Run offer visual variety in contrast to the Northern and Allegheny Hardwoods on the hillsides and up the plateau. Wildlife is abundant in this area; watch for turkey, deer, squirrels and birds, particularly down along Deer Lick Run.
