Pet owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Waste disposal bags are available at some trailheads.
High Bridge Trail: 1.2 miles, more difficult hiking This wooded hiking trail runs along both sides of Tohickon Creek from the old barn near the intersection of Clymer and Richlandtown roads to the High Bridge on PA 563 and Quarry Trail. This trail connects the Sterner Mill Hiking Area with the old barn.
Old Haycock Road: 1.3 miles, easiest hikingThis hiking trail is an old road that reaches the lake. The trail begins behind the gate at the Haycock Boat Launch.
Old Mill Trail: 5.6 miles, more difficult hikingThis trail crosses a stream at the old mill pond and passes across the top of the stone dam breast. Hikers pass through a mature woodlot, pine plantations, and walk a loop that follows the lake shore. Access the trail from the western terminus of the Paved Bicycle Trail, from the gravel lot at the top of Deerwood Lane, or from Old Bethlehem Road. Hiking and equestrian only. Bicycles are prohibited.
Quarry Trail: 2.65 miles, more difficult hikingThis trail winds through old foundations, which are remnants of a summer camp. The trail provides a scenic view of the lake and an overlook of the old quarry that provided building material for area structures. The trail can be accessed from the Kahagon Road Parking Lot off PA 563 or Old Bethlehem Road.
Sterner Mill Trail: 1.8 miles, more difficult hiking The southwest corner of the park has several loop trails that pass near the lake. Hikers can see a small pond, lake views, and pass through hardwood forests and pine plantations. These trails are closed to horses and bicycles.
Southside of the Lake Trails: 13.5 miles, easiest hiking Established trails extend most of the way along the south shore of the lake. Park land on this side of the lake is narrow in spots but there is still a two-way “loop” of trails, including Elephant (4.6 miles), Church (5.1 miles), and Mink (3.8 miles) trails, and many parking lots for creating hikes of various lengths.
