January 3, 2021December 29, 2020I hike this trail every couple month with friends, as we all live in the area. We have started up in the Penn State Behrend Parking lot and also on Cooper Road. We make this a 2 hour hike either way if you cover the expanse from the parking lot on Cooper Road and travel up the steep hill past the college and curve over to the maintenance shop for the university and then back in a loop. The favorite spot is high up on a narrow ridge where 4 mile creek bends around and you can see the creek from either side of the ridge.

November 13, 2020Great views of the water
November 13, 2020November 9, 2020It’s a fun time to go off-trail. Going up and down the inclines is a good workout.
November 7, 2020great trail and scenery.
November 6, 2020November 6, 2020November 2, 2020October 18, 2020Fun trail!! It’s worth the side trip to the creek side trails and small waterfalls.
October 10, 2020Serene, crisp, quiet, quite colorful, beautiful views, crystal clear water!!!!!
October 8, 2020Beautiful!! I love this trail because there are so many options. The water is crystal clear and my dogs love it! Also not many people out there
September 27, 2020A quiet day of few words and unusual police presence
September 26, 2020Better if you don't stay on the trail. The actual trail starting from the parking area is not much more than a gravel path. Easy to walk on but not real interesting either. The path that parallels the creek is more interesting and a little more challenging.
September 26, 2020One of the best publicly available trails in Erie county area easily. Starting at the college parking lot and heading south gives some beautiful views. It could be dangerous if you don't respect the steep sides of the ravine. Only wish it was a longer trail.
September 21, 2020beautiful gorgeous trail, but hard to tell when you're at the end point.
September 19, 2020Nice trail great views

September 5, 2020September 3, 2020August 27, 2020August 25, 2020love it here! stopped towards the end of the day so only had an hour before dusk, but worth spending a few hours in. the wooded areas are just as beautiful as the gorge. great for kids.
August 18, 2020Great trail to walk down, tough hill to climb at the top
August 18, 2020August 12, 2020Cute, lovely in the woods. Creek is nice. Not the view I expected at the top but nice.
August 5, 2020Very nice hiking uphill and next to a creek!
July 31, 2020Great trail for all level of hikers. There was a main trails that was well maintained but there were several smaller trails for more advanced hikers.
July 28, 2020My wife and I completed this today and we couldn't have asked for better weather. the small waterfall is about a half mile into the trail on the right hand side. It was beautiful and you can walk down into the creek bed which makes for a nice change of pace. The overlooks at the end of the trail are beautiful as well, just remember to vere to the right at the end to walk over to the power line overlook.
