The Allegheny Front Trail (AFT) is a 41.75-mile-long loop trail in western Centre County’s Moshannon State Forest that roughly circles Black Moshannon State Park. The new Guide to the Allegheny Front Trail ($12.95, paperback, ISBN 9780985193980), by Ben Cramer, provides detailed advice for hiking the AFT. Turn-by-turn instructions, photos, and maps provide you with the information you need to enjoy the trail and the scenery of the Moshannon State Forest and the Allegheny Front.
Outdoor enthusiasts looking to purchase a copy of the Guide to the Allegheny Front Trail can find it online at Amazon.com and PAHikes.com or at the Appalachian Outdoors in downtown State College.
