Tioga Falls

Welcome to the Tioga Falls Hiking Trail. This selfguided trail was developed to display an area with a unique combination of natural beauty and nineteenth century history. The trail lies in an area of Fort Knox used for military training and as a result is sometimes closed to hikers. The trail may also be closed to hikers during some hunting seasons. Visitors using the Tioga Trail are required to strictly follow the regulations outlined on the back of this trail guide. Signs are conspicuously posted during times the trail is closed.

Along the two mile (circuit) trail are 33 points of interest that are addressed in this trail guide ( 250kb PDF). The trail meanders through a natural environment that can be as peaceful as a trickling brook or as violent as the tornado that devastated parts of the trail in 1974. You are likely to see squirrels, many different species of birds, and occasionally white tailed deer. Footprints are the only evidence of the nocturnal creatures that live in the woodlands along the trail. The entire trail hike takes about two hours to complete at a leisurely pace. The trail is steep and rough in places.
