I recently explored more of SGL 57 (PA), including rock formations, views, waterfall, some old growth oak trees, an old coal mine (reached by a road), and serene, isolated Sprankles Pond. A great weekend in the woods.

It is a proposed trail from the east end of the Loyalsock Trail to Ricketts Glen, and then north into SGL 57. It would be one of the finest trails in the east due to its incredible diversity of scenery, including numerous waterfalls, gorges, canyons, vistas, ponds, streams, wetlands, rock features, isolation, bedrock balds, spruce forests, wilderness, and historical features.

Primary problem has been crossing a crucial piece of private property.
