Mid State Trail, Long-distance hiking trail through Pennsylvania, United States.
The Mid State Trail extends 325 miles from the Maryland border to US 22, crossing diverse landscapes of Pennsylvania through rocky ridgelines and forested mountains.
The Penn State Outing Club established the Mid State Trail in 1969, beginning with paths through the Seven Mountains of Rothrock and Bald Eagle State Forests.
The trail forms a section of the Great Eastern Trail network, connecting multiple trail systems across the eastern United States through Pennsylvania's natural corridors.
Sections 2 through 6 and 19-20 prohibit dispersed camping, requiring hikers to utilize designated campgrounds or nearby accommodation facilities for overnight stays.
The elevation changes from 530 to 2,717 feet, passing through southern oak forests that transition into northern maple, beech, and birch tree stands.
