Little Lyman Vista at Susquehannock State Forest in Abbott, Pennsylvania is an accessible roadside southeast-facing view of a mountainous plateau with views of Stony Peak and Twin Top Peak.

This is not a hike and just barely a walk, but rather a few steps out of your car to take in the views of the mountains at Little Lyman Vista. As of 2022-2023 a new mountain, Stony Peak, can be seen from this vista with its logged mountain slopes and a crown of trees at its summit. Stony Peak was officially named in 2023 with the U.S. Geological Survey by MyHikes' Founder Dave Miller after he and Tony Van Vugt scouted the mountain and hiked to the summit in 2022 and named it "Stony Peak" then. This is a great spot for folks to enjoy the mountains of the PA Wilds without having to do any hiking or really any walking if they choose not to or physically can't. If you choose to walk, the distance is negligible, but there are different vantage points from each end of the parking turnout. There's also a bench at the vista.

Parking
Visitors will find parking at the coordinates provided. The turnout is large enough to fit a half-dozen vehicles at most.

Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and cleaned up after.

No Winter Maintenance
There's no Winter maintenance on these forest roads, so don't expect to be able to reach this vista unless on a snowmobile (if permitted) or on a very long hike.

Stopped on our way out from camping at Stony Peak. Beautiful morning views with fog surrounding the mountain tops.

Great roadside vista of Stony Peak after a hike out to its summit. Caught Stony Peak surrounded by fog lifting after the rain that was dumped on us on the hike out,

Before you leave...

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.

It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.

Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉

Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
