The Trails at Jakes Rocks has been selected as the 2024 Trail of the Year.

The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources announced the selection on Wednesday morning.

“This amazing trail system is extremely deserving of this tremendous honor and I am excited to announce the Trails at Jakes Rocks have been selected as Pennsylvania’s top trail for 2024,” DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn said.

“People travel from near and far to hike, bike and run these trails, which is a testament to the worthiness of this trail system. We at DCNR are hopeful that this honor helps connect even more people to the recreation opportunities around the trails, in Warren County and in the Allegheny National Forest.”
