Twin Lakes Hiking Trail - Hiking trail near Kane, Pennsylvania, United States - Description

This 15.8 mile long trail begins at the long loop of the Black Cherry National Recreation Interpretive Trail located at Twin Lakes Recreation Area and travels west to join with the North Country National Scenic Trail.

Watch the informational signs...this trail offers challenges to a wide range of skill levels as it climbs from Hoffman Run at the Twin Lakes Recreation Area over the plateau, and then drops into the headwaters of Wolf Run on its way to Tionesta Creek. Spots along Wolf Run will be wet. After crossing Tionesta Creek and then Crane Run, a designated Wilderness Trout Stream, the trail then climbs into the Tionesta National Scenic Area. The North Country National Scenic Trail junctions with the Twin Lakes Trail in the scenic area. Hikers then have the opportunity to move north or south on the cross-forest trail. The Twin Lakes Trail is the second longest trail on the forest, and was intended to provide a link to the cross-forest North Country National Scenic Trail while allowing hikers to utilize the parking and recreational facilities available at the newly remodeled Twin Lakes Recreation Area. Enjoy!

The trailhead parking lot is located at the Twin Lakes Recreation Area off of SR 321, south of Kane, PA or north of Wilcox, PA. A hiker actually needs to hike the Black Cherry National Interpretive Trail, which starts in the lower campground loop, and then access the Twin Lakes Trail from the far end of the interpretive trail.
