Pine Swamp Loop Hike

Celebrate Spring! This moderate hike begins with an easy walk on the Long Path through open woodlands along the shores of Lake Skannatati and crossing Pine Swamp Brook. Gradually climbing, it takes you past huge rock ledges and through hilly blueberry patches, until it intersects with the Dunning Trail. Following this old mine road, you ascend to Pine Swamp, home to pitcher plants, sundews, beaver and historic mines. Intersecting with the Arden-Surebridge trail, you bend around the shoulder of Pine Swamp Mountain and rapidly descend through open forest to the parking area. Please wear sturdy hiking boots or sneakers that can get wet, bring 2 liters of water, a lunch/snacks, and rain gear. Hike is rain or shine. Extreme weather we will cancel. Registration Required!
