Allegheny National Forest ATV trails to temporarily close

From staff reports

The U.S. Forest Service will make improvements to the Marienville and Timberline All-Terrain Vehicle Trails, which will temporarily interrupt or detour use of those Allegheny National Forest trails.

The Marienville ATV Trail will be closed for improvements to a segment of the one-way trail from 8 a.m. Monday through 4 p.m. Sept. 4.

The Timberline ATV Trail’s improvements will begin at the Pigs Ear Trailhead on Sept. 8 and will continue through mid-October.

The Pigs Ear Trailhead will remain open and a detour will be in place for all ATV traffic entering the Timberline ATV Trail from the Trailhead or from the Marienville ATV Trail.

The detour will follow Pigs Ear Road north from the trailhead to Forest Road 580, and then east on Forest Road 580 to connect with the Timberline Trail.
