Im looking at taking a weekend hiking/fishing trip this spring up to the loyalsock state forest, any suggestions or comments?? thanks

I hunt in loyalsock.... my family has a cabin up there.... there is a great stream called Rock Run that empties into the lycoming creek in Ralston

can you hike and camp on it?

can you hike and camp on it?

Yes you can hike and camp, there are alot of  good trails,here's a site that you can use to plan a hiking trip,   http://www.trails.com/stateactivity.aspx .    For camping you need a permit and the only campsites I know of in Loyalsock is up Rock Run and you need to contact the DCNR-Bureau of Forestry  for a permit,That's if you want to camp on state land, I know there's a privately owned site in Marsh Hill about 7 miles north of Trout Run on Rt.14 which is only a few miles south of Ralston/Rock Run.

hows the fishing?

fishing is great.... I always do well w/ little jerkbaits (rapalas, rebel ghost minnows) and when I have the kids up there nothing beats crawlers, mealies, and minnows

when is the best time to hit it up for some good fishing?? by the way, thanks for all the info.

Trout Season starts April 16th,later in the spring and in to the summer when it starts gettin to warm for trout  there is (if you wanna take another short drive) Rose Valley Lake it's about 5 miles from Trout Run and there are Largemouth Bass,Panfish,Musky,and Walleye.
         If you have facebook check out Rose Valley Lake Pa,there's alot of people that fish it regularly on there.here's the link
