Four Hiking Trail Bridges Replaced
The district has been busy replacing four hiking trail bridges; two on the Quehanna Hiking Trail and two on the Bucktail Path. Each of the old bridges had failed to pass engineering safety standards.
In 2013, the Elk State Forest was awarded a grant from the Sinnemahoning Watershed Grant Program, on behalf of the Sinnemahoning Stakeholders Committee and the Headwaters RD&D, for up to $15,000 for half the cost of the structures for the two Bucktail Path bridges.
