Updates to Old Loggers Path Access

by Dick Martin

Due to the recent flood (8" of rain in 6 hours), access to the Old Loggers Path near Pleasant Stream is very limited.

Loyalsock State Forest has provided a map of the  roads closed to motor vehicles.

Click HERE for the map.

• You cannot access mile 16.84 or mile zero via Rt 14.
• If you go in via Proctor and Cascade Road, you can access mile 23.53 on Hillsgrove Road. You must park 100 yards east of that road crossing (where a 30 foot section of road is washed out, 15 feet deep).
• You can "almost" get  to Masten via Cascade and west on Hillsgrove.  An unnamed tributary bypassed a culvert and took out the entire roadway as you get to "east Masten". It washed out another 60 feet of Hillsgrove Road, about 10 feet deep).

 
I have never seen devastation of this magnitude. The OLP is going to need many volunteers to repair sections of the trail that have been damaged.  The Old Loggers Path needs your help.
