Introduction

R ail-Trails: Pennsylvania highlights 72 of the top rail-trails and other multiuse pathways across the state. These trails offer a broad range of experiences, from sweeping Appalachian views to narrow wooded ravines, from challenging hiking and biking adventures to relaxing riverside strolls, and from vibrant cities to small towns that thrived in Pennsylvania’s heyday in the 19th and 20th centuries as an industrial powerhouse.

Along the 15-mile Mahoning Shadow Trail, you can visit the hometown of Pennsylvania’s most famous furry critter—Punxsutawney Phil—who puts the shadow in the trail’s name. Or take a majestic trip through Presque Isle State Park on the 13.4-mile Karl Boyes Multi-Purpose National Recreation Trail, featuring majestic views of the Lake Erie shoreline and the Presque Isle Lighthouse.
