Trail Description

The Golden Eagle Trail is an 8.9 mile circuit trail located in the Pine Creek region of Lycoming County. The trail head is about 4 miles north of Cammal at the mouth of Bonnel Run. It has been moved from its previous location to accomodate the Rails to Trails trail thru Pine Creek Canyon.

The Golden Eagle Trail was constructed by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry and the Waterdale (Williamsport) Youth Group. Because of the rugged topography, loctions for overnight camping along the trail are extremely limited. For this reason, OVERNIGHT CAMPING IS NOT PERMITTED ALONG THE GOLDEN EAGLE TRAIL.

The trail is marked with orange blazes, and features vistas overlooking Pine Creek Gorge as well as interesting rock formations and remnants of old logging camps.
