Grey Towers Trails

Just outside Milford off Route 6 on Old Owego Turnpike, Grey Towers National Historic Site (home of the US Forest Service and ancestral home of Gifford Pinchot, First Forester of the Nation and two time Governor of Pennsylvania) sits on high land cut by Sawkill Creek. Grey Towers, beside tours of the chateau and grounds and its educational trails for kids, acts as a hike-through to trails in the Milford Experimental Forest (#7), Pike County Park (#8) and the Delaware State Forest (#9, 10, 11).
Coming through the main gate off Owego, take the Pinchot Timeline to just below the chateau. Behind it on the upper side, a maintenance road leading off up the hill takes you to two of the kids’ trails. Past them, an old gate road takes you out to Route 6. Cross carefully over to Schocopee Road and follow to Pike County park
