The O'Connor Trail at Tioga State Forest near Gaines, Pennsylvania is a moderate 3.9-mile out-and-back trail that features a short mountain ascent along with several obstructed views of the neighboring mountains.
This drive-able trail is a well-maintained wide trail that honestly looks and feels more like a road than a trail. There are several parking turnouts along this trail to shorten the hike - for example, if you just want to hike the hill several times, you can drive the trail and park at the base.
During Autumn, this trail can be very scenic with the foliage changing and since you can get glimpses of views through the tree branches near the eastern side of the trail.
Parking
Hikers will find enough room to fit about 2 vehicles near the trailhead for this trail.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed.
Biking
This trail permits biking.
Camping and Backpacking
Backpackers will find several places off-trail that are flat enough to setup a tent, but there are no designated campsites off-trail that were noticeable. Please follow all state forest rules and regulations when camping.

Before you leave...
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 / Admin. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes 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, and site maintainance . I simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 👍 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
