Rock Tunnel Hike | Marienville Pa | Minister Creek | Best Trails | ANF

This is a great hike in Marienville, it is a place north of town off of 666 called Minister Creek. We have been there a few times and always had great fun. There are thousands of huge rocks for the kids to climb on. There are rock tunnels for them to walk through. Great family fun!

What To Bring On Your Owls Nest Hike

Bring water and something to eat. You can make this a day hike, it is not that long. You have to park and then walk about 5 miles to get to this epic area to camp. Make sure you bring bug spray if you are going in the summer months. There are also bear there so bear spay would probably be a good idea.

Warning & Caution About Where We Camped

We camped down on the creek. As you can see in the video we had a flash flood to deal with the next morning. Make sure that you are on higher ground when camping down there.

Vegetation In The Owls Nest Area

I found some Boneset, lots of it. It was used to set bones back in the old days. It was also used as a pain reliever. There are acres of bone set there and I am excited to harvest it there this fall.
