Johnnycake Trail
A rugged descent from the plateau to the reservoir.
The Johnnycake Trail is a rugged and scenic 3.5-mile corridor that serves as a critical link between the high plateau of Tracy Ridge and the shoreline of the Allegheny Reservoir. The trail follows the steep descent of Johnnycake Run, passing through stands of massive hardwoods and mountain laurel thickets. It is a favorite for backpackers who use it to reach the secluded boat-in campgrounds, offering a technical but rewarding hike that showcases the dramatic elevation changes of the Kinzua country.
