Hiking trails in Pennsylvania

+1
−0

My friends and I are looking for a solid hiking trail in Pennsylvania.

This will be our second trip, but we are in reasonable shape and had little issue our first time around.

We are from Michigan, so the western part of the state would be nice, but we are not opposed to going to the East side of the state if better trailing is found there.

We experienced rolling uplands in the UP with an abundance of waterfalls, which was very pleasant. This is the type of terrain we are looking for.

We plan on trekking for 3-4 days.

You don't say what part of Pennsylvania you are in, The Great Allegheny Passage offers the option to walk or bicycle from Pittsburgh to Washington DC. It is mostly rail to trail, and relatively flat.

On the Eastern side of Pennsylvania is 200+ miles of the Appalachian Trail I have not traveled it so can not speak to it's difficulty.

If you want a longer trip in SW PA, the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail is an option of about the right length. The question is very broad and you could probably get better answers at a trail directory like AllTrails PA.

You will find the Great Allegheny Passage boring for hiking.

If you like lots of waterfalls and don't mind driving east, check out Ricketts Glen and Seven Tubs. Those are single-day or shorter, but beautiful.

There's also the north-central Old Logger's Path you might consider for a few days. Coming from Michigan you might combine that with a stargazing visit to Cherry Springs State Park (weather permitting, of course).
