This week, the Appalachian Mountain Club and the Horse-Shoe Trail Conservancy installed four new interpretive signs at trail kiosks in Berks, Lancaster, and Lebanon counties. These signs include a map of the Pennsylvania Highlands Trail Network as well as information about the two co-aligned trails. The signage can be found at the following locations:

• The French Creek Hopewell Big Woods Trail Parking Lot
• The Horse-Shoe Trail Access Point at the Brecknock Township Municipal Building
• The Horse-Shoe Trail Parking Lot on Furnace Hills Pike
• The Governor Dick Park Parking Area on Rte. 72

The installation of these signs comes after the completion of marking all road crossings for the PA Highlands Trail along the Horse-Shoe Trail, an exciting accomplishment that brings the PA Highlands Trail one step closer to being fully blazed! Next time you’re out on the 61 miles of the Horse-Shoe Trail that co-align with the PA Highlands Trail, be sure to look for these new signs and for a PA Highlands blaze.
