Trail Overview
Eagleton Road is a nice scenic dirt and gravel road across Eagleton Mountain. There are numerous hiking trails and other vehicle trails off of the road. It is a fairly smooth graded road with no winter maintenance. While it will be easy in the dry summer, winter snow and ice as well as the spring rainy season will make this a much harder drive.

Difficulty
Eagleton Road is an easy green trail but will get harder in the winter due to snow and ice with no maintenance. The spring run-off and rains will create rutting and muddy/slippery conditions.
History
The Eagleton Mine Camp Trail was developed in 2006 and utilizes several old road and railroad grades associated with a coal mining community that was active from approximately 1845 to 1870. The former Eagleton Coal and Iron Company built several villages for workers, and some parts of the community were funded by the royal family of Spain. The remote community was also known for alcohol bootlegging. Some ruins can be seen along the route, though most of the former structures and transportation routes have been reclaimed by the forest. The trail network is reached from Pennsylvania Route 120, about 15 miles west of Lock Haven, via the unpaved Eagleton Road.
