AT - Ridge Rd to Power Lines

This small section of the Appalachian Trail at Michaux State Forest in Pennsylvania is a 2.9 mile out-and-back hike from Ridge Rd over to the power lines that cut through the park and the AT.

Follow the white blazes to remain on the AT.

We used the AT as an additional trail to hike into the Rocky Knob Trail. You can park at the trailhead on either side of the road in front of the AT; however, do not block all entrance to the trail.
