Review & FAQ:

Rothrock State Forest is a 96,975-acre forest spread over the ridges of three counties in central Pennsylvania and is known for its seven mountains. There is a rich network of trails that transect this lush natural area. The Shingletown GapTrail meanders through the Shingletown Gap Area, with the Roaring Run streaming through, surrounded by dense forests full of wildlife. Most trails are natural and can get muddy after a rain, but there isn’t much elevation. The area is very popular and can get crowded.
