Cherry Springs Vista

Cherry Springs Vista at Susquehannock State Forest in Abbott Township, Pennsylvania is a drive-able roadside view of the mountainous plateau of the Allegheny Mountain Range.

This is not a hike or a walk, but rather a few steps out of your car to take in the views of the mountains. 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. Note that if you walk down PA-44 west just a little bit, there's a wider view of the mountains; however, watch out for highway traffic.

Parking
Visitors will find parking at the coordinates provided along PA-44. The turnout is large enough to fit just over a half-dozen vehicles.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.
