Where can I get information about biking or hiking on rail-trails?
Several guidebooks have been written on Pennsylvania’s trail system, including rail-trails, and are the most comprehensive source for information about a particular trail. These can be found in most local bookshops or libraries. Bikers seeking information on a particular trail are encouraged to contact local bike shops and biking clubs for suggestions from experienced riders. Where can I get a map of the rail-trails in Pennsylvania? Maps, plus all kinds of information about Rail-Trails, are available at the DCNR Rails-To-Trails page. You are encouraged to print these maps. DCNR makes a statewide map of Rail-Trails available from 1-888-PA-PARKS. Other, more specific resources are available from the PA Chapter of the RTT Conservancy at (717) 238-1717. To whom do I need to talk about turning an abandoned railroad bed into a trail? The Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.
