South and North View

South and North View at Tiadaghton State Forest in Armstrong Township, Pennsylvania is an easy 0.2-mile out-and-back walk that features two mountain views, including a view of the Hagerman Reservoir.

This short walk first leads down the mountain slopes heading southward, following the power lines, just off of Skyline Drive. The trail continues down the mountain, but this track ends several-hundred feet down the path where visitors will find a nice view of the Maple Hill valley. The views are nice, but the power lines obstruct it a bit. The track then heads back to parking, crosses Skyline Drive, and heads down the opposite trail heading northward. Along the way down, hikers will get another view -- mainly of the Hagerman Reservoir below. The best view of the reservoir is just a few-hundred feet down the mountain.

Parking
Visitors will find a small parking lot at the coordinates provided along Skyline Drive. The lot is large enough to fit a few vehicles.

Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.
