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.
