The Current Trek
January/February 2025
The cold temperatures brought a seasonal tradition back to life: the Eagles Mere Toboggan Slide. We hope you were one of the thousands who enjoyed this long-awaited winter activity.
The cold temperatures also brought behind the scenes work, as Loyalsock Foundation works through grant packages for The Landing, an ADA pathway and observation deck for The Landing, and interpretive signage for the pathway. Planning and execution of these projects will occur throughout 2025 and into 2026.
The DCED Neighborhood Assistance Program is now accepting applications. Loyalsock Foundation will be reaching out to local and regional businesses for donations in exchange for a 90% tax credit against PA state taxes. We are asking businesses to contribute to the infrastructure needed for the main building as well as The Landing. The septic, well, and electric will be designed and installed to service both buildings. Read more about the DCED Neighborhood Assistance Program here.
The Summit Loop trail remains closed, but a trail work day is scheduled for Saturday, March 29. We hope to open the trail shortly after that. If you’d like to help, send us an email at info@loyalsockfoundation.org.
December 2024
December was a quiet month for Loyalsock Foundation as we reflected on the accomplishments of 2024 and look forward to continued progress in 2025.
The Summit Loop trail remains closed as we work to reinstall trail signs and update the trail map. There will be a new parking area and a different access point for the trail once it opens.
Loyalsock Foundation attended the final Outdoor Recreation Roundtable of the year, sponsored by the Endless Mountains Heritage Region. A public survey on outdoor recreation is being developed. Look for it in January.
The annual Wild Game Dinner, benefitting the Sullivan County Recreational Association, will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2025 at the Muncy Valley Fire Hall. Tickets are currently available. Contact Sue Mullen to purchase (570-220-8972 or suemullen@sullivancountyrec.com).
