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).
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 (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups 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, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
