Excellent parking. Beautiful and well marked trails. Not terribly difficult, only had to climb a little once. Nice elevation changes. Overlook was stunning. Lots of picnic space at lookout, and at parking. Great hike site.

Although I got lost after starting way too late, this was a fabulous and moderately challenging hike. Well shaded and lots of water features. Could use some better maps with accurate markers so you don’t get stuck out there and become some woodland creature’s next meal.

Even the blue trail is quite a workout! The trail markings could be a bit clearer, esp. where you cross back and forth across the creek, but it is a beautiful hike.
Kellys Run Nature Preserve hosts the Kellys Run Trail, a national recreation trail which also serves as a section of the Conestoga Trail. The Kellys Run Trail is 3.8 mile loop that traverses difficult and steep terrain that requires multiple stream crossings and scrambles across bedrock and boulders. As part of the Conestoga Trail, Kellys Run Nature Preserve is connected to Pinnacle Overlook by a network of trails.
