The Golden Eagle Trail is a 9.1-mile (14.6 km) hiking trail in north-central Pennsylvania, forming a loop through a portion of Tiadaghton State Forest on the east side of Pine Creek Gorge.[2] The trail also traverses Wolf Run Wild Area.[3] Pennsylvania hiking expert Tom Thwaites stated that the Golden Eagle Trail "may be the best day hike in Penn's Woods".[1]
