Overview
The Great Shamokin Path runs for 3.6 miles between Yatesboro and Numine. The mixed-terrain path parallels Cowanshannock Creek in its entirety.
About the Route
The western end of the Great Shamokin Path in Yatesboro is mostly grass but turns into dirt and gravel as the trail reaches its endpoint at Numine Ball Field. Most of the trail features a lovely tree canopy that provides relief on a hot summer’s day. Wildlife can be seen along much of the trail, especially in the early mornings, but watch out for spiderwebs!
The Great Shamokin Path runs between Kennerdell Ln (Yatesboro) and Numine Ball Field (Numine), with parking available at the trail’s eastern endpoint in Numine.
Please see the TrailLink Map for all parking options and detailed directions.
Unfortunately, as with most attempts to better the quality of life for the community, the close minded Pennsyl-tucky-ians who live in the area can't leave well enough alone. The trail is rutted, muddy, at least 2 quad widths wide and in some places it's wide enough for 2 trucks with "big mud tires" to go boggin' side by side.
I never understood why anyone would buy a quad capable of climbing a vertical wall, but choose to ride on a perfectly flat tract of land and rip it all up. I am sure the little bubbas' in the area have to "earn" the right to ride with the bigger bubbas' by ripping up a nice trail intended for those "faggots" on bicycles.
Needless to say, don't waste your time with this trail. Unless your looking for a nice flat piece of land to ride your killer quad.
