HIGHLIGHTS: This is a long
section of the Appalachian Trail that covers over 200 miles in central and
northeastern Pennsylvania. From Caledonia State Park, the Trail climbs a ridge
and passes a series of shelters and the Milesburn PATC cabin. At the Iron
Master's Mansion Youth Hostel, the A.T. enters Pine Grove Furnace State Park
where a historic furnace was used to smelt iron during the Revolutionary War.
The park has campsites, picnic tables, a camp store and a public telephone on
the premises. A marker north of the park marks the midway point between Georgia
and Maine. (Although the true point varies from year to year due to trail
reroutes, maintenance, etc.)
