Pine Creek Purple Lizard Map...

[DevilDodge]

I spent some time plotting a course with the Pine Creek map by purple lizard.

Anyone not familiar with the area the map covers...it is the area that includes the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon.

It is from Interstste 80 North to New York.

As I was looking at it I noticed quite a few areas if interest.

2 of our favorite state park campgrounds are here...Hyner Run and Little Pine.

I also noted alot of the signature purple lizards.

Looks like a few primitive campsites...but can not quite decipher if they are motorized or not. I do know that some are just for thru hikers.

Anyone got any seat time here?

Adding this to my list of trip planning.

We will be doing our annual fall foliage road trips soon.

This area is were we usually go. We like to head up 219 and come across Route 6.

Gonna be doing some staring at the map and plan a route.

Any one else excited to see the fall colors and doing any exploring here

I dont go leaf peeping, but this is where I do most of my hunting and rolling. I dont really understand why people go to rothrock and BSE when all this is here.
I know most of those roads very well especially closer to Leetonia.

Take a look at the legend on back of that map, it ID's motorized, paddle/peddle, and primitive campsite's.

I have been camping in the area for years, not much there for primitive motorized anymore.. that i'v found or been turned onto by the area Rangers. I'd like to find a nice waterfront site somewhere in the Canyon area...

If you email the Ranger for permit you'll most likely deal with Robin, been there for as long as i can remember.. ask her for detailed input for what your looking for.

I found out just prior to Memorial Day weekend while up there that they dont allow trailers at some of the motorized primitive sites, even my small offroad pup. Just a heads up..

Colton Point SP is the main attraction in the area, i often run north through it to reach RT6. I'll share a secret.. theres a Farm Market for great fruit, produce or even food (sandwiches, occasional smoked 1/2 chicken breast/ribs) just across the bridge at 6 /287 just south of Wellsboro. Pag/Mar iirc..

Used to camp at the clearing on Bear Run, they logged it, now it's full of weeds and dump piles. We used to drop grass seed up on the rise there.. would fit plenty of rigs for our larger get togethers.

I know where you mean.

Thanks for the extra info. Much appreciated.

I knew there had to be a few people enjoying this area

Yes, they are actively logging all of the areas up there. Makes for good hunting. But man I hate year 1-5 its so damn thick with cherry its hard to get through.
Have you run Reynolds Spring Trail yet?

It's been awhile, iirc it was closed for some time? I actually have camped just off the southern part at Gamble Run as it's trailer permittable. I'm looking to get back out there soon, i'll have to run it again and keep an eye out.

Hi David, I'm new to the group. Looking forward to getting out on the trails and enjoying NATURE. I'm in central Jersey. My current rig is a 2001 Tahoe, Lots of room and a V8 with 320.000 miles but runs great. Just had to replace the heater hoses this morning, blew one out towing my sons boat to the Delaware river last Sunday. Easy fix.. thank goodness for VICE GRIPES .

So I plotted a route from Ansonia Pa on the Purple Lizard Pine Creek Map through to the Bald Eagle Map.

This takes you from the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon past the 7 mile primitive camping site to Hyner View and down to Bald Eagle.

I really dislike the way this forum does links....my only complaint.

The first route click on google maps above the first pic.

The second route click all the letters and numbers lol
