Nordic Skiing: Trail blazers can find at
least five different paths inside the
Allegheny National Forest far away from
civilization. It's do-it-yourself grooming
around here. Beginners should check
out Chapman State Park in Clarendon
where grooming is done. The Forestry
Service keeps track of snow conditions
for us and has some maps.

Camping in the middle of Winter ?
Nature is open 24 hours a day seven days a
week, 12 months a year and so is primitive
camping in the Allegheny National Forest.
Here's a quick guide to what you can find with
or without a recreational vehicle.
But  you don't have to rough it! Check out the
commercial campground sponsor for the
Winterfest -- Whispering Winds. They have
hook-ups, camp sites, and a games room. They
welcome campers ALL YEAR in nearby
Sheffield, the heart of the Alleghenies.
