Reviews of Switchback Railroad Trail
"Beautiful trail running right along the water."
"We started at the parking lot at Much Lake and went across the road and up the trail. Slight hill, not bad. Turned right at first intersection taking trail toward Mt Pisgah. Flat and super easy. At one point you have to traverse a 5-inch ledge for about 15 feet. Drop off is maybe 10 feet. Then flat again. Just before Mt Pisgah is beautiful view of valley. Maybe 4.5 miles from Lake. Then it's the first drop down the isometric hill. Very steep. Rocky. But not too bad since going down hill. Paused at Pisgah. Good views. Then down the rest of isometric. You don't want to come up this part. Followed road thru Town and down to Jim Thorpe. Are at Molly Maguires. 7 miles completed since lake. Only 3.5 left back to lake. We lost the trail and ended on the road for a bit but no biggy. The section by the creek is nice, very relaxing sounds. And then we were done. 11.6 miles. Great hike."
"What a great trail. I've been coming here for years. Absolutely beautiful in all seasons. Today's visit was in the throws of Winter. Just beautiful. The lake was completely frozen over causing it to make a beautiful melody of strange sounds as the ice was expanding and contracting."
"Flat, easy, trail that runs alongside the river. It eventually takes you to Mauch Chunk Lake. I enjoyed a 4.7 mile relaxing walk with pretty views. The whole switchback trail is 18 miles from what I read with increased difficulty. I would love to go back and walk the rest of it."
"Beautiful area with trails of grass or packed gravel. A must see on a beautiful day"
