Cushman Vista

Cushman Vista at Tioga State Forest in Elk Township, Pennsylvania is an accessible roadside south-facing view of the mountainous plateau surrounding Cushman Branch Slate Run.

This is not a hike and just barely a walk, but rather a few steps out of your car to take in the views of the mountains at Cushman 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 walk, the distance is negligible, but there are different vantage points from each end of the parking turnout. I'd argue some of the nicer mountain ridges can be found due-east here, but the trees block the views and photos of them are best with a telephoto lens.

Parking
Visitors will find parking at the coordinates provided along Cushman Road. The turnout is large enough to fit a couple vehicles at most; however, be mindful of any seldom traffic as your vehicle may not be fully off of the road.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.

No Winter Maintenance
There's no Winter maintenance on these forest roads, so don't expect to be able to reach this vista unless on a snowmobile (if permitted on this road).
