This trailhead, also known as the PA-504 trailhead, is the official eastern access point for the Allegheny Front Trail (AFT). Parking is available, and there is a posted sign with up-to-date trail information. Access to the trailhead is free to the public. There is no restroom here, and potable water is only available near the beach at Black Moshannon State Park. However, the trail itself is often close to streams, making water sources relatively easy to find, so bring a filter or pack plenty of water.
From this trailhead, several trails branch off and connect back to the main trail, making it a popular spot for day hikers to explore the Moshannon State Forest and Black Moshannon State Park for a few hours.
