The Rockton Mountain Trails are an approximately 17.1-mile (27.5 km) network of connected hiking trails in central Pennsylvania, in Moshannon State Forest.[1] The total trail distance includes several different linear trails that can be used to form one-way and loop hikes of various lengths. The trail system is also often used for cross-country skiing, with some segments available for mountain biking as well.[2]
The Rockton Mountain Trails were constructed starting in 1993, with a volunteer named Ben Irwin leading the efforts. Trails were built to reach scenic areas along Panther Run, Horn Shanty Stream, and Coupler Run.[2] The area was selected for its heavy snowfall in order to attract cross-country skiers during the winter, though other users are welcomed during non-winter months.[2] The trailhead is found on US Route 322, about three miles west of its northern interchange with Pennsylvania Route 153, or about four miles east of the village of Rockton.[3]
