The Quehanna Trail passes some of the most remote and beautiful wild areas in Pennsylvania, traditional home to the Susquehannock people, from which the trail name is derived. Often hiked as a full 75-mile through hike, those with less time can easily do a day hike on some sections, or connect with other trails in the area for a shorter backpacking trip. The northern section is especially well known for being home to one of the eastern United States' largest herd of elk.
