(Cancelled) The 9.4 mile hike begins at the PA State Game Lands 110 parking lot on Northkill Road and follows a game lands service road before transitioning onto the Sand Spring Trail (blue blazes), crossing Northkill Creek and climbing steadily alongside a stream to the historic rock-walled Sand Spring and the junction with the Tom Lowe Trail. The route then briefly joins the Appalachian Trail, traversing rocky terrain and game commission burn areas, before turning onto the Eagles Nest Trail and reaching the Eagles Nest lookout about a mile later.

The return follows the Tom Lowe Trail (orange blazes), descending steeply from the ridge, crossing several streams—including a wooden bridge near mile eight—and following Northkill Creek back to the parking area. Expect rocky footing in places.

Come prepared with sturdy footwear, snacks, lunch, and plenty of fluids; the hike will be canceled in the event of adverse weather.

This hike will begin will begin with an approximately 1000' elevation gain up to the top of the ridge, a trek along the ridge with sweeping vistas, and part of the AT. Terrain is often rocky and uneven with significant elevation change, and there is a good possibility of encountering snow/ice on the trail. Participants must have traction devices with them in case they are needed and should be able to handle the distance, elevation, and uneven trail conditions. Sturdy footwear is required and trekking poles may be helpful. Bring proper hydration, snacks, and a trail lunch and dress in layers. We will have a lunch/celebration stop along the way so it would be good to have an extra layer to use to keep warm while we are stopped if needed.

This hike will be canceled if adverse weather is predicted that day.

We will cover many of the 18 miles of trails this park offers. Trails of varied surfaces are through meadows and forests with rolling hills. Sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Bring water and lunch/snacks. Steady rain or snow cancels.
