Dark Hollow Overlook Trail

Dark Hollow Overlook at Michaux State Forest is a quick hit for great views of Pennsylvania's Appalachian mountains and Michaux.

This hike can be as long or as short as you want. You can drive directly up to the overlook, but it can be easy to miss while driving. This GPS track leads from the intersection down the street where Ridge rd, Stillhouse Hollow Rd, and the AT meet. You can park at the pull-off at the intersection and hike down the road to the overlook, which is 0.8 miles out-and-back.

Worth stopping for a quick view of this nice roadside vista, but not really a destination hike. Stopped on my way to hike at Long Pine Reservoir & Rocky Knob which was exxcellent!
