Oil Creek State Park | Winter Backpacking in Pennsylvania | The Gerard Trail

Oil Creek State Park, PA consists of over 7,000 acres of wooded hills, deep hollows and over 12 miles of meandering Oil Creek in the scenic and historic Oil Creek gorge and is home to the 36 mile Gerard Hiking Trail.

Recently I joined Ohio Youtuber's Tim Watson, Outlan, Restless Outdoors and Bicycle Josh on a two night trip to Oil Creek to enjoy some winter hiking, hanging out by the fire in the shelters and lots of laughs!

We left my truck at Wolfkiel and parked a second vehicle at Cow Run to begin our trek back to Wolfkiel. Not a lot of miles put in on this trip, about ten, but always have a blast hangin with these fellows!

Be sure to check out their channels and see their version of this trip if you haven't already.
