The Trail is located in the heart of the Pennsylvania elk range in Elk County’s Benezette Township which is within the highest elk population density area in the state. This new land acquisition is known as the Woodring Farm and now becomes part of State Game Lands 311...This is one of the newer habitat enhancement projects in the area , interwoven with interpretive boards thru out the lenght of your walk ....The walking trail leads to an overlook about 1/4 mile from the parking area that will offers an opportunity to view Pennsylvania’s wild elk herd in their own habitat..... The property is on 81 acres of prime elk habitat on Winslow Hill Road and is on both sides of the road. The upper portion offers a 180 degree view of the heart of PA’s elk range and many elk frequent this property. The day I placed these caches I walked within a 100 feet of two different herds ( check pics)that were browsing along the trail.......Then and there I knew I had to share this place with others........PLEASE RESPECT THE ELK.........LIKE ANY ANIMAL THEY CAN BE UNPREDICTABLE ESPECIALLY DURING THE RUTTING SEASON!!!!......You'll be looking for a camo pill bottle and a pen or pencil will be required to sign the log.....Have fun...... Directions From state Route 555 in Benezette, turn onto Front Street, then turn right onto Winslow Hill Road. Follow Winslow Hill Road approximately 2.6 miles.
