The Old Loggers Path is a cross-country skiing route in Loyalsock State Forest in Pennsylvania, on land managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. This segment runs about 3.8 miles one way and is skied as an out-and-back, for a round trip of about 7.6 miles. The route starts at about 1,450 feet and tops out near 2,140 feet, with a low point of about 1,400 feet along the way. It climbs about 860 feet one way and about 1,570 feet over the full round trip, with the same amount of descent. The steepest stretch comes around mile 2.7, where the grade reaches about 16 percent. Skiers should be ready to manage that pitch on both the way out and the return. Midwinter is the core of the ski season. Typical averages from a weather station in Canton, PA, show January highs around 33°F and lows near 15°F, and the route sits roughly 1,000 feet higher than that station, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Old Crandalltown Trail and Long Run Trail are both about 0.6 miles away, and the S&NY Trail is about 0.8 miles away. The Rock Run climbing area is about 2.6 miles away.
