Enlow Fork Trail 9 Mile Hike

I've been considering this trail which snakes between Greene & Washington Counties in Pennselvania for a couple years. Located new West Finely, PA in the PA State Game Lands 302 and for the most part follows along Wheeling Creek. Along the way you pass two old Iron bridges which were pretty interesting. I did some research and apparently they are both over 100 years od.

If you look up the trail milege on a couple websites it lists Enlow Fork Trail as 6.5 mies. My intention was only to do about 4 miles of the trail. However, from where I parked my car to the turn around where the trail turns into a main road my GPS recorded my round trip as almost 9 miles. I think I took a different path than what the original trail was suppose to be but it all worked out.

The trail was not easy to find. I drove around a bit on some crappy muddy roads before I found it. My GPS didn't know what to do with the old roads around the Game Lands.

The trail itself is an easy hike. Only a few moderate inclines. A little muddy in sections so leave your good shoes at home.

Here are some photos from the trail:
