Wintergreen Gorge

What a beautiful place! I was in town visiting some friends and they brought us here. So let me preface with saying that I am a big city girl and not one to go hiking nor am I “outdoorsy” so know that this is not my area of expertise. That said, the trail we went through was not too difficult, plenty of little pebbles were one can get their footing and not fall on mud. We walked down to the creek and took in the sights. Truly a beautiful place and enjoyed every second of this experience. One thing to keep in mind though, the parking situation is a little tricky, so just come prepared with that in mind. Aside from that, I highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Nice place for a short easy hike. Nice trail through the forest. The best for me was going up Four Mile Creek. Very scenic. The creek water level was low so the waterfalls were small and slow flowing. I plan to return after some heavy rains or in the spring runoff to really appreciate the falls. Very enjoyable day. Many families were also enjoying the creek and the kids were have fun in the many swim holes.

Free public access hiking trail on the grounds of Penn State Behrend. Well maintained with a fantastic view from the top of the 'Devils Backbone'. The bottom of the gorge features dramatic cliffs and beautiful forest.
