Sharp Top Vista at Loyalsock State Forest near Masten, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk (or drive-up view) that features a 180-degree vista of the mountains north of Williamsport.
This is not a hike but rather a drive-up vista that's universally-accessible to the general public. Note that the view is available from the forest road, so visitors don't need to step out of their vehicle if they physically can't. There's a small dirt trail that leads down the hill approximately 16-feet down to a small cliff that provides the same view but with a different perspective.
Universal Access
This vista is universally accessible due to the fact that visitors don't need to step outside of their vehicle to enjoy it; however, the picnic area and grassy knoll at Sharp Top is not universally accessible or paved.
Parking
Visitors and hikers will find parking at the coordinates provided. There's plenty of space to turn-off of the dirt road.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

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.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
