Public access to hiking trails in Susquehanna County was hard to come by for a long time. But times have changed. The old rail system on the eastern portion of the county is gone, and in its place is a great trail system that allows for recreational hiking, biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and even sectional access to ATVs. Join us as we discuss the trail system, the staff that makes it all happen, and the events on the trail that everyone should attend!
