Announcement -- New 21st Edition of LT Guide!!
The new 21st Edition of the Guide to the Loyalsock Trail and Side Trails is now available. See the Guide Sales section below for where to purchase this newest LT Guide and accompanying Maps.
As more and more major changes and re-routings are made to the LT, as a result of Gas Well activity, PennDot requirements, Park and Forestry recommendations, extreme Weather resolutions, etc., it is recommended that you use this most current 21st Edition of the LT Guide. However, always keep in mind that whichever Edition of the LT Guide and Maps you use, whether something you printed off the Internet or a previous Edition you acquired, you should always follow the Red-Lettered Yellow LT Blazes, to ensure you are on the correct path. We update these Blazes on the Trail as soon as changes are made and before we publish any announcements, addendums or Trail Sign Postings.
You are not lost if you are following this Blaze: 
A few somewhat major route changes are now in this Edition. First is the reroute due to Gas Well activity on the Allegheny Front, between Miles 3.03 and 3.83. The second is the reroute near Worlds End State Park, between Miles 45.57 and 46.58. Both these reroutes are still listed on this Website's Alerts Page, for redundancy and for anyone not using this new Guide.
We invite you to acquire this new 21st Edition and use it to enjoy arguably the best Hiking Trail in Pennsylvania!
