Counting down to America’s 250^th birthday on July 4, 2026, DCNR has partnered with America250PA's, Road to 2026 Celebrate Pennsylvania to celebrate the role of Pennsylvania’s public outdoor spaces and their impact on the Commonwealth. Focusing on America250PA’s theme of “Educate, Preserve, Innovate, and Celebrate” (EPIC), DCNR is helping to engage citizens in all 67 counties to commemorate this momentous occasion.

The Forbes Road played a huge part in the later stages of the French and Indian War and during the settlement of western Pennsylvania afterwards. Join the park naturalist for a hike along the Forbes Trail as we learn about some of the heroes and legends of the road. This hike is over mostly easy terrain. Wear appropriate hiking shoes and bring plenty of water.
