Old Loggers Path is a short cross-country ski route in Loyalsock State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is an out-and-back that starts and ends at nearly the same elevation, with a total climb of about 60 feet over a round-trip distance of about 0.3 miles. The route is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.08 miles from the start, where the grade reaches 8 percent. Winter is the natural season for this ski trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Canton, PA, show January highs around 33°F and lows near 15°F, and the station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the path run cooler. The Sharp-Shinned Trail lies about 0.4 miles away, and the Cherry Ridge Trail is about 1.3 miles off. For hiking, the Hawkeye Cross County Ski Trail is about 1.8 miles away, and the S&NY Trail is about 1.9 miles away.
