Horse-Shoe Trail, Historic hiking trail in southeastern Pennsylvania, United States.
The Horse-Shoe Trail extends 140 miles through diverse landscapes, connecting Valley Forge National Park to the Appalachian Trail near Harrisburg.
Established in 1935, the trail system incorporated paths used by indigenous communities and early settlers for trade routes across Pennsylvania.
The trail network passes through multiple protected areas, state parks, and historic sites linked to the Revolutionary War period.
The trail requires careful planning for overnight stays due to camping restrictions, with numerous access points available for day hiking sections.
A 17-mile section between Chester and Berks counties earned National Recreation Trail status for its exceptional natural features.
