Mill Creek Trail

The Mill Creek Trail begins at a small parking lot and rest area on Pennsylvania Route 948, about 10 miles north of Ridgway; the lot also serves the Brush Hollow Cross Country Ski Trail. The two trails depart northbound from the parking area and share the same path for about 0.2 of a mile to a junction, where the Mill Creek Trail turns right, crosses Big Mill Creek, and then turns north and follows that creek's valley upstream. The trail crosses several incoming tributary streams and traverses a variety of forest ecosystems. Near its northern end it passes through Kane Experimental Forest.^[3] After 5.6 miles, the Mill Creek Trail ends at the Twin Lakes Trail, about 1.2 miles west of Twin Lakes Recreation Area; the trail junction is near a small parking lot on Forest Road 138.^[4]
