This a also a great place to cross country ski in the winter since the Laurel Ridge gets more snow than anywhere else Trails are closed to biking during snow cover. See www.paccsa.org/lmwebcam for webcam.
Shares a stream crossing with the yellow blazed Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail (LHHT). No bikes permitted on LHHT where it branches off.
