Backpacking the Thunder Swamp Trail-Delaware State Forest | Endless Mountains Experience (wordpress.com)
Last weekend some friends and I backpacked the main loop of the Thunder Swamp Trail in the Poconos. There were some waterfalls, many swamps, and hiking along scenic Bushkill Creek. This is an easy...
The Quehanna is a great trail. I particularly like the vast trail network in the Quehanna Wild Area. A very beautiful place and one of my favorites to go backpacking.

Chknfngrs, 4 days is a good pace.
Somers515, the Loyalsock is definitely one of the better trails of that list. BFT has more views, the Loyalsock has more falls, streams, cascades. STS is great, has shelters and isolation, but few...
This past October I thruhiked the Loyalsock Trail (PA). I think it is one of the most diverse trails in the region with many waterfalls, gorges, views, big rocks and some excellent campsites. It is...

As for the Susquehannock Trail, also very nice. Don't miss the Hammersley Wild Area, isolated, pristine place. To include Hammersley, you will need to cut out the northern part of the Susquehannock...
I'd do a loop with the east cross connector and the eastern end of the Quehanna Trail. Not sure of mileage, should be around 45. Beautiful creeks, cascades, elk, some views, meadows, gorges. Upper...
Littlefoot, I highly recommend Quehanna, but if you want another long, isolated loop, check out the Susquehannock Trail.
Littlefoot, I'm unaware of any issues with the reactor site which was removed and cleaned up. No trail goes by the site. I've been hiking Quehanna for years and never had any problems, nor heard of...
