Find Your Own Trail
If you haven`t had a sandwhich from The Grocery Stretcher - New in downtown Bradford, you haven`t really lived, friend. Their fresh sliced meats on super fresh bread, fancy cheese and a little magic makes for a sandwhich that makes you say, "that`s the best sandwhich I`ve had in a long time." The deli is located inside the old-fashioned grocery store with discounted items and the best hydroponic lettuce you`ll ever eat.

Here at Trail Central, we like to drop knowledge of unforgettable experiences across the ANF Region and McKean County. The following recommendation is not for the faint of heart, fun-haters or grump sticks. This trail is for the see-food lovers, chunk-a-dunks, glass half empty people. Start out with a homemade cinnamon roll at Jewett`s Kaffe Sol in Mt. Jewett, then head to Kane and hit up Bells Meat & Poultry for a variety of griller. Side bar...the chicken griller is amazing. We don`t want you to be parched, so head to CJ Spirits for their leek vodka, Logyard Brewing their Sour Cherry Raspberry is the ticket,, grab dinner at Table 105, crab stuffed salmon and apple crumble cheesecake is a must. If you haven`t quit yet, venture over to Flickerwood Wine Cellars and Cocktail Lounge for their blackberry dessert wine.
Advice from Trail Central...make sure you have a designated driver. If you need a designated eater and sipper, we`re in.
Trail Central means miles of scenic trails in the ANF Region and McKean County, PA. It means eyes to the sky at Timberdoodle Flats Interpretive Birding Trail. It means biking along Morrison Trail deep into the forest. It means a wooden-covered bridge at Marilla Reservoir. It means hiking among large strands of old growth forest on the White Pine Trail. It means trekking the North Country Scenic Trail, the longest trail in the US.
Advice from Trail Central...the destination is the ANF Region and the journey is yours to wander.
