Standing Stone Trail Club.
We are dedicated to the preservation, maintenance, and enjoyment of Pennsylvania's Standing Stone Trail SST a 76 mile long footpath: part of Great Eastern Trail.
Until January 12, 2007, we were known as Link Trail.

Standing Stone Trail follows scenic ridgelines in Huntingdon, Mifflin, and Fulton counties: the south middle region of Pennsylvania's Tiltrock Country.

Formerly known as "Link Trail" named for connecting Mid State Trail with Tuscarora Trail, Standing Stone Trail is a destination in its own right, offering Pennsylvania hikers and backpackers a link to dramatic scenery, wild plant and animal life, and compelling history.

Standing Stone Trail links Greenwood Furnace State Park to Cowans Gap State Park through Rothrock State Forest, Rocky Ridge Natural Area, State Game Lands No. 112, No. 71, No. 99, and No. 81, and Buchanan State Forest.

We also cherish our partnerships with numerous private landowners who generously allow hikers passage along the SST's orange blazed route.

The Standing Stone Trail guide was updated in 2006. It is called "Hiking Guide to the Link Trail" because that was the name we were known by from the 1970's through 2006. Click here to order it. Maps are not included in the guide but they are currently available on this site!
