Standing Stone Trail: Pennsylvania Hiking Trail Trailer

The Standing Stone Trail (SST) connects the Mid State and Tuscarora Trails and traverses the Blue Mountain and Seven Mountains Regions. The 76-mile trail is orange-blazed and maintained by Standing Stone Trail Club. In 2007, the former Link Trail Club changed the name of the club and the trail to the more historically poetic Standing Stone. The new name derives from a tradition among the Native Americans of what is now south-central Pennsylvania to maintain tribal genealogies on a “standing stone” displayed in each village, inspiring early settlers to use the term as a general name for the region.
