Backpacking in southern NY or PA
All-
I'm looking for a good 25-30 mile backpacking trail in southern NY or PA. I've looked into Allegany State Park and National Forest, but couldn't find a loop that would keep us out of campgrounds.
Are there any good loops in the system of state parks to the east of Allegany?

Have you considered the Finger Lakes Trail? It's certainly long enough, and has lean-tos along most of its length. There aren't a lot of loops, but you may be able to arrange a one-way with return by car or public transport. (In particular, the section around Ithaca crosses county bus routes at several places.)

Check out the Devil's Path in the Catskills:
A little further north in the Adirondacks is the Northville-Placid Trail:
