Go further for the view
by Jim

  Likely In-Season!
The Farview Trail is an easy connector trail a short distance from I-80. It seems to be misnamed, as I had no view from the trail, and perhaps you simply have to go further than this trail to get any views. This trail does provide access to the upper reaches of the Dunnfield Creek Trail and the creek itself by continuing on the Holly Springs Trail, and you'll encounter the Appalachian Trail at the end of Farview, where it meets Holly Springs, so this trail provides another access option to the Appalachian Trail.


The Farview is relatively wide and well-maintained, with a gentle grade. The forest is very lush and green in season, but you will have insects like mosquitoes if it has been wet. There is no great destination for the trail itself. It can be a nice short hike or longer if you connect to other trails. I recommend a longer hike with these connecting trails, as you won't see too many people, if you see anyone, and it is much quieter once about 1 mile from I-80 and the trailhead.

Bears seem to be common here, so you may encounter one even if you have to look for them. You may see one before it notices you. Also, at least during the week, it is not at all crowded compared to Tammany trails. Weekends may be crowded.

    To hike
    Take I-80 west towards Pennsylvania and exit at exit 1, the last exit before the toll bridge crossing. The sign is very clear: This is the last exit before the toll. Turn right onto Old Mine Road and proceed to the Farview Parking Lot, which is 1 mile from the I-80 exit ramp. The signed lot is large and has a marquee with a trail map in it at the trail entrance. The trail is marked with yellow blazes on trees.
