Old Loggers Path is a cross-country ski route in Loyalsock State Forest in Pennsylvania, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. The out-and-back trip runs about 10.7 miles with a total climb of roughly 2,127 feet, so the round trip gains about 840 feet. The route begins near 2,000 feet and reaches a high point of about 2,130 feet. The steepest section comes at around 2.9 miles in, with a grade of about 20 percent. Winter is the natural season for this ski trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Canton put January highs around 33°F with lows near 15°F, and the station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. Yellow Dog Road starts just 0.1 mile away, and Cherry Ridge Trail is about 0.8 mile off. For hiking, the Sharp-Shinned Trail and Hawkeye Cross County Ski Trail are both within about a mile and a half.
