Description:

Steinman Run is a 264.22 acre nature preserve comprised of mature forested areas and the stream corridors for both Steinman Run and a tributary of Trout Run. A trail starts at the parking lot by Stump Road and continues along the hillside to the crossing of two tributaries. Another trail starts at the gate on Clearview Road and follows down hill to the stream. There are also several small side trails on the preserve, which make Steinman a great destination for hikers. There is a geocache hidden on the property.

How to get to Steinman Run Nature Preserve
