This is a great 6 mile loop with a beautiful stream and excellent views from Smith's Knob, which rises 1,200 feet over the valley. The hike along pristine Painter Run was very enjoyable with mossy cascades, trout, bee balm, and some campsites where the Loyalsock Trail crosses. One of the best dayhike loops in the Loyalsock State Forest, or it can even be a quick overnight backpack.
