Prowl the Sproul
Event Cancelled
July 14-16, 2023
​Renovo, PA
Prowl the Sproul Hiking Weekend returns for 16th year

What a fantastic summer weekend Keystone Trails Association has in store for avid adventurers and inquisitive explorers! The Western Clinton Sportsman Association in Renovo is our venue: pitch your tent, bring your camper or even sleep under the stars on their spacious grounds. We have a stellar lineup of activities in store. On Friday night, local singer/songwriter/storyteller Van Wagner will perform around the campfire. On Saturday, Vinny Curtis, a DCNR environmental education specialist, will offer several hands-on nature and wildlife presentations. Hearty meals catered by The Twisted Whisk will be provided. And of course, the hiking! - rambles ranging from 3-15 miles on the best trails found in Pennsylvania. This is an all-ages, kids-welcome event, so bring the family! ​

​HIKE THE SPROUL
​

The “Sproul” contains some of the most wild and remote forestland in Pennsylvania. DCNR guides and KTA volunteer hike leaders will share their insider knowledge of the trails while they lead hikers off the beaten path to explore the hidden jewels of the 
Sproul State Forest. Popular area hikes include the Chuck Keiper Trail, the Donut Hole Trail,  and portions of the Hyner View Trail Challenge course, as well as waterfall and Wild Area hikes. Hikers will have a variety of options from short, family-friendly hikes to longer mileage and challenging hikes, and everything in between!

​
The hike schedule will be available in June.
