The State Game Lands 208 Pine Creek Trail in Gaines, Pennsylvania is a short 0.4-mile out-and-back trail that leads into the game lands open field and over to the edge of Pine Creek.
This trail is a popular fishing and kayaking spot during the Spring, but does not have much to see other than the banks of Pine Creek, hunting fields, and wildflowers throughout the warmer months.
The hunting area here is listed as SGL 208 1A.
Parking
Hikers will find parking is located down a discrete dirt road near the center of Gaines, PA adjacent to a small white home, at the coordinates provided. Red and yellow state game lands signs are usually propped up at the entrance to this road, but the entry road looks like a driveway. The parking lot is large enough to fit several vehicles and accommodates turnaround areas for vehicles with trailers for kayaks and canoes.
Pets
Dogs are allowed. If not hunting, dogs should be on a leash.
Hunting
Hikers should note that hunting is permitted here and should wear orange.
Overgrowth
Since this is a hunting area and not maintained for
hiking, there may be plenty of overgrowth after late Spring and into
early Fall.

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.
