The Blue Loop Trail in Deer Lakes Park, Tarentum, PA, is an easy 2 mile hike through the woods.

Nothing special about this trail, but it's quiet and you often don't see other hikers. The occasional mountain biker will pass through, but even that's rare.

Excellent place to walk or hike a leash-reactive dog or just get away from the city and people.

Today we completed about 90% of this trail in one go. Perfect weather and trail conditions. Many beautiful sights for photos. Interesting valley to explore below Red Trail down to the road. Up the hill from where Blue Trail crosses Crayfish Drive is an awesome pine grove. We found a stream (mostly dry now) that should be beautiful in the Spring. Rather an easy hike for those in our 60's.
