Foreword

Welcome to Rail-Trails: Pennsylvania, a comprehensive companion for discovering the state’s top rail-trails and multiuse pathways. This guidebook will help you uncover fantastic opportunities to get outdoors on the state’s trails—whether for exercise, transportation, or just pure fun.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s mission is to create a nationwide network of trails, just like these, to build healthier places for healthier people. We hope this book will inspire you to experience firsthand how trails can connect people to one another and to the places they love, while also creating connections to nature, history, and culture.

Since its founding in 1986, RTC has witnessed a massive growth in the rail-trail and active transportation movement. Today, more than 24,000 miles of completed rail-trails provide invaluable benefits for people and communities across the country. We hope you find this book to be a delightful and informative resource for discovering the many unique trail destinations throughout Pennsylvania.

I’ll be out on the trails, too, experiencing the thrill of the adventure right alongside you. Be sure to say hello and share your experience with us on social media! We want to hear how you #GoByTrail. You can find us @railstotrails on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

See you on the trail!
