Old Loggers Path is a short, out-and-back cross-country ski route in Loyalsock State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The trail is just over a third of a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 78 feet, and it starts and ends at roughly 1,335 feet, with a high point of 1,383 feet. The steepest stretch comes early on, at about 8% grade, and the route is best suited to a quick outing rather than a long day on the snow. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Canton, PA, show January highs around 33°F with lows near 15°F, while December and February run a little warmer, with highs in the upper 30s. The station sits about 240 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the path run a bit cooler. The S&NY Trail and the Short Run Trail both lie within a quarter mile, and the Long Run Trail is about a mile away. For more skiing, the Cherry Ridge Trail is just over a mile off.
