The Chuck Keiper Trail is a 50-mile loop through Sproul State Forest, offering one of Pennsylvania's most remote backpacking experiences. Traversing rugged plateaus and deep hollows, it passes through two state natural areas and two wild areas, including the Fish Dam and Burns Run Wild Areas. The trail features steep climbs, stream crossings, and landmarks like Yost Run Falls and the historic Eddy Lick Run splash dam. Named after Charles F. Keiper, a dedicated wildlife conservation officer for Western Clinton County from 1951 until his death in 1973, the trail honors his commitment to preserving Pennsylvania's wildlands.
