Old Loggers Path is a 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 covers about 2.9 miles, with a low point of 1,777 feet and a high of 1,893 feet. The climb is short, with a total elevation gain of about 143 feet, and the steepest stretch comes early on, around 0.14 miles in, at a 10% grade. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Canton, PA, show January highs around 33°F and lows near 15°F, with the station sitting roughly 750 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the path run cooler. Several other destinations sit within a couple of miles. Rock Run, a climbing area, is about 1.1 miles away, and the Old Crandalltown Trail and the Ridge Area are both about 1.4 miles off. Yellow Dog Road, another cross-country ski route, is about 1.7 miles away.
