The Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) is the volunteer-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and management of the Appalachian Trail and its associated lands - a 250,000 acre greenway from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia.  ATC is the primary source of information about the Trail. Visit them at www.appalachiantrail.org.

The Appalachian Trail (A.T.) is more than 2,175-mile long footpath stretching through 14 eastern states from Maine to Georgia. Conceived in 1921 and first completed in 1937, it traverses the wild, scenic, wooded, pastoral, and culturally significant lands of the Appalachian Mountains.  For more information, click here.

The Appalachian Trail runs along the northernmost border of the Bertsch-Hokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed, along the top of the Blue Mountain Ridge.  Local parking areas and trail heads may be found at the Wind Gap, Smiths Gap, and Little Gap road crossings of Blue Mountain.
