Section 13 - PA 880 @ Ravensburg State Park to PA 150

PA 880 to PA 150 (21.13 km), Bald Eagle & Tiadaghton State Forests, Lycoming/Clinton Counties, Woolrich Region

Guide: 13th Edition
   Map: 312-318 (2022)

Alerts:
NB km 0.22: Tiadaghton State Forest has put the Falling Spring Trail back on its Public Use map. Seasonal waterfall 500 m west of trail. The side trail goes around the waterfall to the right, crosses the intermittent stream above the waterfall, then follows valley up to the left. If you are extremely lucky you will emerge on Falling Spring Road at what used to be the upper signpost for the trail. (10/21)

MST crosses two red-blazed trails that don't yet appear on the Tiadaghton Public Use Map, between the top of Great Island Indian Path and Ramm Road. (10/21)

Part of what was Spook Hollow Road, the dirt road alongside West Branch Susquehanna River is now abandoned around McElhattan, and is called "Bald Eagle Valley Trail"  Two new gravel parking areas at either end of the multi-use trail, one almost under the McElhattan road bridge on the north/west end of this section of the multi-use trail, and one almost under an abandoned railroad bridge on the south/"east" end, now appear at disconnected ends of remaining portions of Spook Hollow Rd. The latter parking lot is the lowest elevation point along MST. These locations are described in the 13th edition Guide. A ramp is now open from the east parking lot up to the former railroad bridge above, which affords higher views of the West Branch, and maybe in a few years will connect back around to Jersey Shore Borough and the Pine Creek Rail Trail. At some point, the spot under the MST's West Branch bridge should connect around McElhattan to the other disconnected portion of BEVT leading to Castanea, adjacent to the City of Lock Haven. (12/17; 12/21; 12/22)

Part of Section 14 just past PA 150 is closed for hunting seasons 9/1 through 1/31. AS OF MAY 2023 THIS SECTION IS CLOSED DUE TO LOGGING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. NB either stay on the main road into Woolrich from the river, or less traffic and basically the same distance to follow MST off the bridge to Island Rd and Harley Dr but just continue across PA 150 on Harley Dr to Park Ave. Detour route is shown in FarOut Guide and on the new Map 312-318. The dirt parking area on PA 150 across from the veterinary clinic remains open for hikers to use. (9/21; 5/23)
