Have you ever stopped to think about just how much there is to see and do in Pennsylvania? We could probably spend our entire lives exploring and not even come close to experiencing it all. That doesn’t even take into account the many hidden gems we’ve yet to uncover. When you’re up for a bit of a challenge, follow the Hemlock Trail, a little-known gem in Somerset, Pennsylvania.
Indulge in a bit of solitude - with only wildlife as your companion - on the usually-quiet Hemlock Trail, which meanders through Laurel Hill State Park in Somerset.
Follow the yellow blazes that mark the Hemlock Trail.
Hidden in a snug six-acre natural area, the scenic 1.2-mile loop trail garners a moderate rating, mainly because of its slight inclines and sometimes muddy terrain.
Dogs are permitted on this scenic Pennsylvania trail. However, make sure you keep your pooch on a leash at all times.
