What it is

The Walking Trail is a 0.3 mile natural surface trail that has been carefully graded for our future plans to add a hard surface and make it ADA accessible.   Get away from the city pavements and take a quick spin or a slow stroll in the beauty that nature has to offer.  

Trail Rules

  • The trail is open sunrise to sundown
  • Enter at your own risk
  • Stay on the trail
  • No motorized vehicles
  • Dogs must be leashed 
  • Dog owners must pick up after pets 
  • Do not alter or remove plants or wildlife
  • No smoking or fires
  • No alcohol
  • Carry in, carry out

Events

Several events occur on the trail throughout the year so always check the event page to see what is coming next.  The trail offers a great stage to tell stories, a quiet place to take meditative journeys, and a spooky place to do some trick-or-treating. 


Bow hunting can be scheduled on the grounds during hunting season.  During these times the trail will be closed. 

HUNTER ACCESS PROGRAM

  

Carnegie Presbyterian Church and Light on the Hill Park participate in a partnership with the PA Game Commission to provide private land to augment the public land available for hunting and trapping.  This is a means to properly manage the property's game population improving the wildlife habitat.  Access is also granted to the PA Game Commission to track wildlife migration.

Hunter and trappers request permission to access the land before hunting/trapping.  Safety guidelines specific for this property are 

shared with the hunters.  A limited number of hunters are given permission during each hunting season.

NOTE:  The walking trail is closed -noted by a chain across both trailhead and exit - when a hunter is on the property.

Celebration Stations

 

The trail also serves as a great meditation space.  It is quiet, peaceful, and you are surrounded by nature.  The Celebration Stations are a set of benches that allow you to stop and sit for a moment while you contemplate something - anything.  


Each station was sponsored by a family that wanted to share with the world people who were important in their lives. Take a moment and celebrate their lives and memories.


Our lives are so busy, our stress levels so high, it is healthy to stop for even just a moment and sit in quiet contemplation.  Ask a question and seek an answer.  List the good things in your life. Or even check out one of the inspirations listed on the Celebration Station signs.

    This would allow the trail to serve more of our community.  


    Allow a wheelchair bound Grandparent the opportunity to share a nature walk with their Grandchildren. 


    Give an elderly person a place where they can walk on a relatively flat hard surface, out in nature, where a bench to take a break on is never hard to find.

    There is still much of the property not being used.  Additional natural surfaced trails would allow for a longer and more challenging hike.  


    The place is called "Light on the Hill" for a reason - if you are not walking up a hill then you are walking down a hill.  A trail through this terrain would give hikers a more active workout.

    There is a great deal of beauty within the land that is not yet visible.  A small stream runs through one section while strange mounds rise out of another.
