Here are some suggestions that highlight the area's scenic beauty, while only covering short to moderate distances. A 1.3 mile trail ascending nearly 900 feet from the North Fork River to an observation deck just below the top of the rocks. This vantage point offers a splendid view of the North Fork River valley below and the Allegheny Mountains to the west. The trail is a wide gravel path where switchbacks and steps help to ease the steep grades so that people of all ages can hike this trail.
Benches provide resting spots along the way.
The trail begins at the parking lot of the Seneca Rocks Visitor Center. A total of 6 miles, these two trails are connected by Forest Road 70 to form a long day hike. They can be hiked in either direction and begin at the same place on Forest Road 70. The elevation gain on the Loop is 1,500 feet and rocky, so this route is not for the faint at heart. The trail crosses streams and bogs so be prepared to get your feet wet.
