Central Avenue is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Pennsylvania, about 0.1 mile from the center of the route and set at an elevation of roughly 1,650 feet. The path is an out-and-back with a high point of about 1,664 feet and a total climb of about 35 feet, so it makes a quick stop rather than a full day on the trail. The nearest town is Marvin, New York, about 3 miles away. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 32°F with lows near 16°F, and February is similar, while May and September bring highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Several other cross-country ski routes sit right next to Central Avenue. Practice Field, Roger's Way and Coach Ned's Way are each about 0.1 mile away, and Cow Lane is about 0.2 mile off. For paddling, French Creek is about 9.5 miles away.
