Location: Along Susquehanna River at Holtwood Power Plant.

  • States: Pennsylvania

The remains of an old rocky road are visible where flat schistic rocks have been placed side by side in and beside the stream. The Conservancy's Kelly's Run Pinnacle Preserve now encompasses the Conservancy's Kelly's Run trails, the former PPL Pinnacle Preserve, and the former PPL Holtwood Nature Preserve.

This preserve has mostly steep climbing from about 400 to 700 feet elevation, but there is a well-used equestrian path and deer trails. The route along the stream is fairly level. The westernmost part of the tract, with a small tributary to Kelly's Run, has a cobblestone trail that allows easy access to this beautiful spot.
