Parking for the trail is right along Salem Road on the extra wide berm just before the bridge at the unnamed tributary to Penns Creek, and adjacent to the Salem Glenn Development. Motor vehicles are not allowed to drive back the field (access) road. If you walk back this access you will notice a station marker on the left, # 1. This is where the trail begins and is marked throughout with numbered posts or station markers that will correspond with the guide pamphlet.

Contact Craig Bingman, District Manager, at 570-837-3000, x114, for an updated pamphlet describing each Nature Trail station. Each station depicts a natural or unique resource along the trail.
