About State Game Lands 141

Explore the natural beauty of State Game Lands 141 in Nesquehoning, PA, home to a variety of hiking trails near Jim Thorpe. A popular choice is the Tank Hollow Vista Trail, a short but rewarding 1.1-mile out-and-back hike offering stunning scenic views of the Lehigh Gorge. Keep in mind that access to the Tank Hollow Vista trailhead can be affected by the State Game Lands gate, which is typically open during hunting season (October-January), significantly reducing the hike's length. Outside of these months, be prepared for a longer trek to reach the trailhead.

For a more challenging adventure, tackle the Hetchell's Tooth Cliffs Hike, a 2.8-mile out-and-back trail featuring steep inclines and rocky terrain. This hike showcases multiple breathtaking overlooks of the Lehigh Gorge, including Packer's Point and the dramatic Hetchell's Tooth Cliffs. Remember to stay on the marked red-blazed Overlook Trail, as the Glen Onoko Trail is closed, and exercise extreme caution near the steep cliffs and uneven rocky areas. When planning your hike, be mindful of hunting season regulations and consider wearing blaze orange for safety.
