Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail, Maryland–Pennsylvania footpath along a former railroad

Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail is a hiking and biking path built on a former railroad line in Pennsylvania. The route follows the old railway corridor for roughly 12 miles through relatively flat terrain, with wide, smooth surfaces suitable for walking, cycling, and jogging.

The trail is built on a railroad line that operated in the early 1900s and was later abandoned. This conversion of railroad property into a public footpath reflects a broader movement to repurpose old rail corridors for recreation and community use.

The path is accessible to visitors of all ages and requires no special skills for walking or biking. The flat surface makes it especially suitable for families and less active walkers, and you can enjoy it throughout the year without major seasonal challenges.

The trail connects several small towns and allows visitors to discover different perspectives of the local landscape and heritage along the way. Many people appreciate this route for the opportunity to explore rural areas in a simple and relaxed manner.
