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.

Yost Run Falls is a hidden gem nestled within Sproul State Forest along the Chuck Keiper Trail. This 12-foot cascade offers a serene retreat amidst dense forests of hemlock and rhododendron. The trail to the falls is a moderate 1.3-mile descent, rewarding hikers with the soothing sounds of rushing water and picturesque scenery. Just downstream lies Kyler Fork Falls, another tranquil spot worth visiting. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including deer and various bird species, as you immerse yourself in this peaceful natural setting
