The Tuscarora Overlook Trail is a 1 mile difficult multi-use trail that connects the Stony Run Trail to the Blue Suck Falls Trail. This narrow, well shaded trail passes through flat areas and areas with slight changes in elevation. This trail accesses the Tuscarora Overlook, where bikers are rewarded with beautiful views of the park, Beard's mountain, and the nearby ridge of the Alleghenies. The overlook includes a cabin for shelter from foul weather at this high elevation.
It is blazed Yellow
