Golden Eagle Trail

PictureStanding on the Raven's Horn looking down at Pine Creek
A rugged and very beautiful loop trail, with a short entrance trail, the Golden Eagle Trail starts in the east side of Pine Creek Gorge and features a strenuous climb to pristine mountaintop streams and several outstanding vistas. The trailhead and parking lot are on PA 414, about 3.5 miles north of Cammal and 1.5 miles north of a crossing of the Pine Creek Rail-Trail. Because of heavy usage by hikers and the area’s fragile ecosystem, overnight camping is prohibited along this trail. The Golden Eagle Trail is featured in 50 Hikes in Central Pennsylvania (2001), by Tom Thwaites, and this accomplished hiking authority states that it “may be the best day hike in Penn’s Woods.”
