Purple Lizard Map – Loyalsock/Worlds End State Park

The Loyalsock – Worlds End Lizard Map will help you plan all your adventures in and around Loyalsock State Forest from Williamsport to Worlds End State Park. This is one of the most popular 4-season State Parks in Pennsylvania. 

“This is one of the most amazing landscapes we have ever mapped. The sheer number of waterfalls and cascades make it a special place, but the remote feeling that these trails offer is really special.”  Michael Hermann – Lead Cartographer

A beautifully designed, easy to read topographic map featuring contour lines, elevation data, shaded relief, and all the key details you need to plan your adventures: backroads and trails, trail use designations, road surfaces (paved and dirt), the Loyalsock Trail and Old Loggers Path, parking access, campsites, public lands, historic sites and more.
