Mid State Trail

MST uses private lands by permission on occasion, generally closer to the Maryland and New York borders. The Mid State Trail is marked with rectangular orange blazes. Yellow and blue blazes are used to mark other, side trails. The MST marks the trail with single rectangles and two rectangles to denote turns.

The Mid State Trail is divided into four different regions; Everett (EV), State College (SC), Woolrich (WO) and Tioga (TI). The southern most section of the trail is the Everett Region. The Everett Region covers the section of the trail that extends from the Maryland border to route US22 near Alexandria, PA. Adjacent to this region is the State College Region. This extends from route US22 near Alexandria, PA to the R.B. Winter State Park. The next region is the Woolrich Region which includes the section of the MST from R.B. Winter State Park to the town of Blackwell, PA. The final region is the Tioga Region. The section of the trail from Blackwell, PA to the New York state border make up this region.

A brief history of the Mid State Trail tells about how the trail began and the growing pains it suffered as it slowly blazed its way across the middle of the state. More information about the Mid State Trail and the organization tasked with maintaining it is available on the Mid State Trail Association (MSTA) website.
