GRAND CANYON OF PENNSYLVANIA

Southeast of Wellsboro, Pennsylvania

Often referred to as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania and the Pine Creek Gorge, the PA Canyon area stretches for over 45 miles with depths of nearly 1500 feet. Its dynamic topography creates many scenic wonders, including steep canyon walls and waterfalls.  This area is part of the Tioga State Forest, beginning just south of Ansonia, PA, near Wellsboro, known for his gas street lights.

​One of the most popular attractions to the canyon is the Pine Creek Rail Trail https://www.traillink.com/trail/pine-creek-rail-trail/), a converted railroad bed that travels along Pine Creek Gorge at the floor of the canyon. USA Today cites the Pine Creek Rail Trail as one of the 10 great places to take a bike tour in the world. Because of the gentle grade, the trail offers easy pedaling, hence it can be experienced with minimal physical impact and basic biking gear. It provides for good hiking and running. Nancy and I have biked here at least three times and always stay locally, frequently at the Hotel-Manor htto://www.hotel-manor.com/ A nice place to eat and drink where the locals and eagles meet.
