We were fortunate to come cross this Smooth Greensnake in a grassy area near Twin Rocks along the Ghost Town Trail. This species is listed as a Species of Special Concern in PA due to declining numbers. The Smooth Greensnake is completely harmless to humans.
At this marker at the entrance to the Ghost Town Trail you can read about the history of Ebensburg. The town has many lovely restored homes, a beautiful courthouse and a well-kept downtown and residential area.
