Longs Ridge Vista

Longs Ridge Vista at Tiadaghton State Forest near Carsontown, Pennsylvania is a roadside vista that provides views of the mountains surrounding Little Pine State Park.

This is not a hike nor a walk but rather a quick stop along a dead-end dirt forest road to a vista point along the mountainside of Longs Ridge. Visitors will find a one-lane dirt road that skirts a very steep mountainside that runs the mountain ridge out to this vista. Folks not used to this type of driving may want to avoid this one.

Parking
There's a small parking turnout near the vista, large enough for a couple of cars to turn around. Note that there's at least one turnout along the one-lane forest road that leads down to the view.
