This Michaux State Forest trail contains some steep climbs. The entire park can be viewed from the Pole Steeple Overlook, which is a quartzite rock outcropping. The trail begins at the Pole Steeple parking lot, along the Railroad Bed Road by Laurel Lake, and proceeds up to the rocky overlook.
Great short hike with a gorgeous view at the top!
Took our GS troop on this hike, loved it! I think there are parts of the hike that should be considered moderate hiking. Views at the top are beautiful!!!
Gorgeous view! You can make it a loop if you want extra miles. Definitely an excellent workout and one of the best views in Pennsylvania.
great trail. well marked. quite challenging. will be back to hike again.
Nice short trail, big incline so pace yourself if not used to hiking.
Wasn't the best marked trail and was really steep, but the view was beautiful and it was a lot of fun.
We do this all the time. It's challenging but my fat doxie can do it. So that's saying something.
