The Avonmore Branch Trail at the Pasternak Recreation Area in Avonmore, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.8-mile out-and-back grass-surfaced rail-trail, which runs on the former right-of-way of the Avonmore Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It ends by a fence, right before an old railroad bridge which runs above the western Salina Tunnel portal.
It starts in the Pasternak Recreation Area/Avonmore Canoe launch, at the top of the hill (past the lake) on the right side.
Length (0.4 miles) is currently (2019) estimated one-way length.
Note that there are not currently (summer 2019) any signs or the like pointing out where the trail is.
Pets: Dogs are allowed if leashed and their waste must be carried out by the hiker.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
