Slopes along the reservoir and along the small streams are steep. Large boulders can be found on the steeper hillsides. Most of the area is heavily forested in second growth timber; primarily oak and hickory. Hemlock is found in small groves along the streams, and some magnificent old white pines can be found in scattered locations. Mid to late June provides a perfect opportunity to view the Mountain Laurel, the Pennsylvania State flower. Opportunities to view wildlife, deer, squirrel, grouse, and turkey are also good.
The trailhead parking lot is located off SR 59, 16 miles east of Warren, PA and 17 miles from Bradford, PA. This trail is located on the Longhouse National Scenic Byway, a 29 mile loop with abundant outdoor recreation sites and scenic vistas around the Allegheny Reservoir.
