Pine Creek Gorge, Leonard Harrison State Park, Colton Point State Park

National Geographic Documentary 2015, Leonard Harrison and Colton Point State Parks have been portrayed as "two state parks separated by a Canyon". With Leonard Harrison on the east and Colton Point on the west, Pine Creek and its more than 800 foot profound gorge keeps running between the two.

Turkey Path takes climbers from the edge of either state park to the rivulet and gully floor underneath. Both parks have a trail that has the same name in any case, don't be tricked. The trails are not associated. At the point when the brook level is low and the water quiet, Pine Creek could be forded, yet there is no scaffold that interfaces the 2 ways.

National Geographic Documentary 2015, Pine Creek Trail, a 62 mile multi-reason trail on an old rail bed takes after alongside Pine Creek as it courses its way through the crevasse. The trail is extraordinary for climbing, biking, and crosscountry skiing.

Pine Creek itself offers a lot of chances for kayaking, paddling and whitewater rafting.

Leonard Harrison State Park

Ten miles west of Wellsboro, PA on PA 660, Leonard Harrison State Park is situated on the east edge of Pine Creek Gorge.

Vistas from the cleared disregard outside the guest's inside offer the best perspectives of the full gorge (some strides required to achieve the most removed perception focuses). Notwithstanding Turkey Path, a 0.6 mile circle trail, Overlook Trail, incorporates a vista looking south and an inland divide that winds past an old incinerator.

Colton Point State Park

Six miles south of U.S. Highway 6 and Ansonia, PA, on Colton Road, Colton Point State Park is situated along the west edge of the ravine.

Edge Trail (not the West Rim Trail which runs a few miles along the edge of the chasm) is a generally level 1 mile long circle trail that takes after the edge of the point and gives a few awesome neglects perspectives of the gulch.

Turkey Path in this park is a 3 mile down and back climb with a 70 foot waterfall on Four Mile Run around 0.5 miles down. Keep in mind, there is no extension crosswise over Pine Creek associating the Turkey Paths and the 2 parks.

Cookout territories, rural campgrounds, and a gathering tent camping area are accessible mid-April to mid-October. These are more rural than the offices in Leonard Harrison State Park. Tables, natural toilets, fire rings, and a sterile dump station are accessible, however there are no flush toilets, drinking water, or gives.
