Lost Turkey Trail The long-distance Lost Turkey Trail was built by the Youth Conservation Corps in 1976 and playfully named in tribute of the original trailblazers. This challenging trail provides a quiet passageway through the forest west of the Allegheny Front, before plunging down off the Front and then climbing steeply up to the second-highest point in Pennsylvania. The trail winds through parts of Somerset, Cambria, and Bedford Counties, cutting through Gallitzin State Forest, state game lands, and Blue Knob State Park. Backpack camping along the trail is permitted only in the state forest, creating a challenge in mapping out backpacking routes. Fee campgrounds are available at the state park, but these are near the trail’s northeastern terminus, near the ski area. The southwestern terminus of Lost Turkey Trail is at a parking lot on Pennsylvania Route 56, across the road from Babcock Picnic Area, about 10 mi southeast of Johnstown.
