Maps

You’ll find two levels of maps in this book: a state locator map and detailed trail maps.

The trails in this book are located in Pennsylvania, with some trails extending to, or into, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey. Use the state locator map to find the trails nearest you, or select several neighboring trails and plan a weekend hiking or biking excursion. Once you find a trail on a state locator map, simply flip to the corresponding number for a full description. Accompanying trail maps mark each route’s access roads, trailheads, parking areas, restrooms, and other defining features.

Trail Descriptions

Trails are listed in alphabetical order. Each description leads off with a set of summary information, including trail endpoints and mileage, a roughness index, the trail surface, and possible uses.

The map and summary information list the trail endpoints (either a city, street, or more specific location), with suggested points from which to start and finish. Additional access points are marked on the maps and mentioned in the trail descriptions. The maps and descriptions also highlight available amenities, including parking and restrooms, as well as such area attractions as museums, parks, and stadiums. Trail length is listed in miles.
