Horse-Shoe Trail

The Trail begins at Valley Forge and runs westward to its junction with the Appalachian Trail on top of Stony Mountain in State Game Lands 211. This is about twelve miles north of Hershey, PA. The western end of the Trail is accessible from PA 325 via the AT, a distance of 3.3 miles. This Trail exists largely through the generosity of individuals who have allowed the route to cross privately owned land. Many miles also pass through public park and state game lands. Due care and respect should be accorded both private and public land by users of the Trail. Motorized vehicles of any sort are unwelcome and prohibited. Dogs should be on leash at all times. The Trail is marked with Yellow paint blazes. Side trails to points of interest are marked with White blazes. Double blazers are an alert to changes of direction.
