Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Horses may be ridden on all state forest roads and all shared-use trails in Pinchot State Forest -- including the 26 miles of the Thornhurst Snowmobile Trail.

    The Spruce Swamp Natural Area, Pinchot Trail, and Watres Loop are closed to horseback riding and only open to foot traffic.

    Horseback riders should be aware that the 39 miles of shared-use trails across Pinchot State Forest are utilized by many different user groups.
