Boone Run Vista

Boone Run Vista at Susquehannock State Forest in Abbott, Pennsylvania is an accessible roadside southeast-facing view of the mountains surrounding Boone Run.

This is not a hike, but rather a few steps out of your car to take in the views of the mountains at the Boone Run Vista. This is a great spot for folks to enjoy the mountains of the PA Wilds without having to do any hiking or really any walking if they choose not to or physically can't. If you choose to walk, the distance is negligible, but there are different vantage points from each end of the parking turnout.
