Sinking Springs Spur Vista in Tiadaghton State Forest near Jersey Mills, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back / roadside vista that features stunning views of Pine Creek and the PA Grand Canyon.

This is not a hike but rather a very short walk from the dead-end road parking to the Sinking Springs Spur Vista (aka Spur Vista / Sinking Springs Vista). For folks who do not wish to or cannot walk, this is a great drive-up vista; however, you'll have to fare dirt roads to reach it.

Sinking Springs Spur Vista provides views of Pine Creek, the hamlet of Jersey Mills, the mountain slopes of the Miller Run Natural Area, and views into the hamlet of Cammal, PA.

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 (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!️
