도핀 카운티 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Clarks Valley Road has a trailhead that links hikers directly with the Appalachian Trail and indirectly with the Horse-Shoe Trail. It is a great place to park, but it's also a busy road to get a ride from.

The trek to this overlook is short, steep and rocky, and follows along part of the Appalachian Trail. It's worth, it though: Mixed in with the great mountain views you'll catch glimpses of the Susquehanna River and the nearest small town (Duncannon).

This is one of many simple, three-sided wooden shelters along the Appalachian Trail, free for all to use. You can tag it and turn around for a day hike, or just rest for a minute (or a night) before you continue on the trail.

The world-famous Appalachian Trail is at its most urban here, pounding the pavement — white blazes and all — on a pedestrian walkway across the Clarks Ferry Bridge. If you prefer a more natural environment, you can instead head up Peters Mountain toward the Clarks Ferry Shelter.
