The Old Loggers Path is a 27.8 mi (44.7 km) hiking trail in north-central Pennsylvania, forming a loop through Loyalsock State Forest.[1] The most commonly used trailhead is at the ghost town of Masten. The trail makes use of abandoned logging railroad grades originating in the late 1800s, and some roads originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.[2] The trail is known for numerous vistas, rock formations, and scenic streams,[3] and for the remnants of past industrial infrastructure reclaimed by the forest.[4]
