2 - Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania there are several short segments of trail within various state parks, and an 87-mile segment within the Allegheny National Forest. The Cook Forest State Park/Clear Creek State Forest segment joins with the Allegheny National Forest segment for a total of about 97 miles of certified trail. All of these join with the North Country/Finger Lakes Trail in New York. Elsewhere, the longest segment is in the McConnells Mill SP--Moraine SP--Jennings ELC area.
Ignoring certification status, a total of almost 450 miles of continuous foot trail is in place straddling the New York-Pennsylvania border--from where the North Country NST first joins the Finger Lakes Trail, near Cazenovia, NY to the west edge of Cook Forest State Park, PA.
