Denton Hill is a cross-country skiing route in Susquehannock State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The outing is an out-and-back that starts at about 2,110 feet and reaches a high point of 2,347 feet, with a total climb of 370 feet and a round-trip distance of about 1.9 miles. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Coudersport show January highs around 30°F with lows near 14°F, while February runs about 32°F by day and 15°F at night. The station sits at a similar elevation to the route, so these figures are a fair guide to conditions on the hill. Several other trails lie within a couple of miles. Lumbermans Trail and Crowell Hollow Trail are both hikes about a mile and a half away, and Big Fill Hollow Road is a cross-country skiing route about 1.6 miles off.
