Hey everyone, this is my first post here so excuse me if this is in the wrong place.
Myself and a few friends are going to do a section of the trail from Harpers Ferry to ideally, home (Westhampton, NY), on eastern Long Island. The goal or logic behind this is simply that we'd like to walk home from college, literally. We know that the trail will take us north through PA, but we'd like to deviate and go through Manhattan and then east on Long Island.
The straightest shot would be to head east somewhere around Allentown, PA and go through Newark. My understanding of this is based only on the highway system though. I know the trail can take us to the border of NY via NJ, however I'm not sure how we'd be able to go southeast again to get to Long Island.
Basically I was wondering if anyone knew of any other trails we'd be able to hike and camp on that would take us to Long Island, either east through PA or southeast through NJ.
If people are not aware of specific trails, is there a resource online where we can view the hiking / trails available for each state? This way we might be able to take some transportation to link up on another trail that will put us in the right direction.
Thanks for your help
