HARRISBURG — A trail in our area is earning some honors.
The Pine Creek Rail Trail in Lycoming and Tioga counties is Pennsylvania’s 2026 Trail of the Year. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources named the 62-mile trail for its history and recreation.
Officials say the trail draws more than 44,000 visitors annually and generates over $5 million locally. The corridor runs from Jersey Shore to Wellsboro through the Pennsylvania Wilds region.
DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn says the designation boosts tourism and local businesses. The trail reopened as a non-motorized path after rail service ended in 1988. A recent 3.2-mile extension now connects directly to downtown Wellsboro. Learn more at dcnr.pa.gov.
