Access Issue: This area is closed to public use, each year, during February 15 - July 31 to protect nesting Peregrine Falcons. Details

The closure area includes all cliffs and trails south of the abandoned Artmore Plastics building.
Peregrine Falcons are a state and federally protected bird.
Human disturbance can cause nest abandonment and the loss of eggs and chicks.
Viewing the Peregrines is possible from along the Great Allegheny Passage Trail as it passes through The Cumberland Narrows.

Description

Cliff at the edge of the meadow above the Artmore factory, also known as Lover's Leap overlook. The entire cliff north of this location is outside of the falcon closure area and is open for climbing year-round.

Getting There

Hike past the Artmore Plastics building about a hundred yards then go left on the trail just beyond the iron gate. Follow this to the small meadow at the cliff edge.
