Worlds End is another fantastic state park in Pennsylvania! There are a lot of sights to see and…read morethings to do. Unfortunately, the weather interfered with our ability to see as much as we had hoped, but we still had a great time! There is a nice visitor center with a variety of historic and nature info available, including some great info on the CCC work that took place in the park (there's a really nice interactive model of a CCC camp too) and how and where the park name is suspected to have been derived from. There is a real snake to look at, as well. A very nice playground is located nearby, and this section of the park also offers easy access to the Loysalsock Creek and the beach with a snack bar, plus multiple picnic tables and shelterhouses. It's beautiful even just to look at the valley walls and the creek itself. There are several gorgeous vistas available, some by foot and some by foot or car. We especially liked the Loyalsock Canyon Vista, which can be reached on foot or by car. It is located next to the Rock Garden, which is a very neat grouping of giant rocks and boulders that is a lot of fun to check out. The park also offers camping and plenty of trails. Worlds End is located within the Loyalsock State Forest, so there is also a lot more that one could explore in the area.

It was very buggy when we arrived (late July) but the weather turned cooler and we had beautiful weather for our four night stay. There was no sewer or water hookup at our site but the bathhouse was close. We walked some of the trails and everything was beautiful. We brought kayaks but the water we paddled in by the dam was just ok. Lots of vegetation close to the surface, etc. We stayed to visit friends nearby. Dogs are welcome but they don't want you walking them by the no-pet sites, which is a little awkward.

It's a very nice area with picnic tables, a playground, and a beach available along the water, which can be used for swimming and boating.

Camping, including yurts and cottages, are also available. The staff in the park office were friendly and helpful.

The Pine Creek Rail Trail was one of the first rails-to-trails in the area, having been completed…read morein 1996. As its name implies, this was once a rail line and it was built in 1883 to haul timber products and coal. Throughout the years it was operated by various rail companies, the last being Conrail Railroad, which shut it down in 1988. The present trail starts in Jersey Shore, PA and ends just north of Wellsboro, PA. The entire trail is crushed limestone and is an easy ride. The steepest grade is only about 2%. Rick and I began our trip in Jersey Shore at the trailhead. Please note that the address I show above is the approximate address of the trailhead. Some parking is available at the trailhead as are restrooms. We headed west for a few blocks then turned and proceeded northwest while paralleling PA #44. Just northwest of Torbert we crossed the creek for the first time. This was the first of a few creek crossings we did. We passed a portion of WatervilleVillage before skirting the edge of Upper Pine Bottom State Park. You won't find any facilities in the state park, however just beyond is Dry Run Comfort Station. If you need to take a facilities break, here's the place to do it. Now these 'Comfort Stations' are really pit toilets, but they are really clean. The southern portion of the trail has facilities every few miles. We didn't stop at Dry Run Comfort Station, however just north of there we saw the first of several canoe launches. Canoeing and kayaking are very popular here. Once past Jersey Mills Village we began paralleling PA #414. The trail passes through a part of Tiadaghton State Forest here. Tiadaghton State Forest has well over fifty miles of hiking trails in it plus a portion of the 306 mile Mid State Trail, which crosses the state and connects the Maryland border to the West Rim Trail in Tioga county. If we wever get really serious about hiking, me and my girlfriends should come here. We made a rest stop at Cammal Village Comfort Station. I'm a tyoe-1 diabetic and when I do rides like this I have to pay really close attention to my sugars and soemtimes I need a snack break. I should mention that a lot of the geographic names are just points on a map. While this trail has ample pit stops and water pumps, there are almost no places along the trail to obtain food. Just to the east of Cammal Village Comfort Station is Little Pine State Park which also has canoeing, hiking and also camping. Most of the Pine Creek Rail Trail is located in a valley with some pretty good bluffs and slopes on either side. We pressed on and we eventually made our way to Hillborn Hills Comfort Station. This portion of the trail has campsites available for those doing the length. We decided to have our lunch break here. Gotta love good ole PB&J when biking or hiking--especially after it gets warm. And no Skippy for me either! I love the good ol' fashioned stuff where the oil rises to the top and you've gotta stir it before making your sandwich. This was our turnaround point too, being approximately the half way point. The entire trail is 60 miles in length and a one day round trip would have been impossible. And for this portion of the ride, we missed out on the most spectacular part--the remaining miles to Wellsboro. O' but stay tuned my friends, for we did tackle the remainder on another date.

Very quiet, despite the constant traffic on State Routes 11/15 immediately below. Didn't find the nesting raptors in the trees below, nor did we see any deer as we hiked along the Deer Trail, although we came across a family BBQ at one of the covered picnic areas. Near the top were restrooms that were in an actual building rather than the usual porta-potties, but with no running water (although there was hand sanitizer). Well-maintained playground with swings, slides, and monkey bars at the upper parking lot for the kids too. Just be sure to map or GPS your route to avoid having to make numerous U-turns - coming north up Route 11/15, there's no park directional signage (look for the County Line Road sign just before the bridge) and from County Line Road, the park entrance sign is pointing towards visitors coming from the opposite direction.

We only checked out two sections of the preserve, first the Fossil pit, and the vistor center. The vistor center had a few exhibits that were interesting, the main part of the review was the fossil pit.

Even though se were there for a short time, was able to locate some fossils, and we both had a unique, fun experience, despite the heat. Look forward to coming back and checking out trails for future.

The place had some nice hiking trails you can follow or even walk your dog in. My aunt walks her dogs here often, and she never had an issue here. She even let's them take a dip in the water and they love it. I didn't really see any trash laying around, so it looked to be kept clean. There is also a little playground you can take your kids to and have some fun. Next to the playground was a restroom too so you don't have to go far. We went in the early morning and didn't see many people. We were able to enjoy a nice walk in peace and quiet. Overall, it was a good experience and would come back if I'm in town again.

I wanted to break my long hiatus to talk about my Milton state park experience. If you love…read morewalking, looking at plants, and the Susquehanna river, I 5/5 recommend going to Milton State park. Also, if you love Japanese Knotweed, Lol just kidding. Japanese knotweed is not ideal. In fact I hope more native plants can thrive in this environment and restore some stability. Lots of doggos which is very fun! As long as the owners pick up the poop. I would say the worst part of my experience was getting some all over my right shoe, what a bummer! Even after that I managed to have a great time! My one critique is that one of the plaques says Quercus rubra instead of Quercus palustris, a minor detail but I can't not say something. Quercus palustris has pointer leaves and has top branches pointing up and lower branches pointing down. Im getting off topic... Anyway, Milton State park has some lovely history and although it is small and a changing ecosystem, there are some great things happening there. Keep your eyes out for native trees and plants because they are still here! Also watch out for flying soccer balls and running children... I used to play my youth soccer games here as a kid :)
