While it was VERY tempting to return to the original loop, I feel that most of you enjoy the newer loop.  Additionally, the newer loop spends a little less time on pavement and has no impact on the Natural Area in the event of really wet weather. 

NEW CJ’s LOOP (2019 – 2023)
Start near Pavilion 1, then:
-west on Boiling Springs Trail (~0.15mi trail)
-right onto Keystone Road
-left into the campground
-run entire way through campground trail (~0.48mi of pavement so far)
-continue straight onto Campground Trail
-left onto Old Boundary Trail (~0.28mi trail)
-left onto Sand Mountain Road (~0.35mi dirt/~0.12mi paved)
-left onto service road back to start/finish (~0.12 mi gravel)

That’s a 1.5-ish mile counterclockwise loop with what I think is a pretty fun mix of terrain! Enjoy!

OLD CJ’S ROUTE (2014-2018)
The entire course is contained within R. B. Winter State Park at 17215 Buffalo Road Mifflinburg, PA 17844.  The start is near Pavilion 1.  Participants head west on Boiling Spring Trail then continue on Rapid Run Nature Trail.  Instead of turning back into the Rapid Run Natural Area, continue onto Sand Road which is paved.  Participants will follow Sand Road approximately seven tenths of a mile before turning right onto Keystone Road and then another quick right back onto Boiling Spring Trail and back to the Pavilion to complete one loop, which is roughly 1.6 miles.
