The Bee Tree Ski Connector Trail at Tioga State Forest in Gaines, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile one-way trail that connects both the Bee Tree Ski Trail and the Deadman Hollow Run Trail.
This trail is a great alternative to hiking a small section of the Bee Tree Ski Trail adjacent to here because of very wet ground - essentially a creek that flows down the Bee Tree Ski Trail - all times of the year. The trail flooding is especially bad during warmer months and just after heavy rainfalls or during snow melt.
This trail includes a fork closest to the Deadman Hollow Run Trail. One part of the fork is very short while the other is about 100-feet long before it connects back to the Deadman Holllow Run Trail.

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! ✌
