6. Mt. Holly Springs, PA to Mcveytown, PA

MT. HOLLY SPRINGS, PA TO MCVEYTOWN, PA – 102 miles

On to Pennsylvania, the land of ‘Liberty, Virtue and Independence!’ The lay of the land in this state is similar to Virginia, with a collection of elevation changes from the ridgelines to the valleys a few thousand feet below.

Pennsylvania utilizes smooth-as-a-drum rollers to compact its dirt roads after grading them, a welcome change from the days of dicey, gravel-ridden corners from earlier in the route.

This area comprises all manner of outdoor recreation, including Tuscarora State Forest. Here you’ll find several named vista points, individual numbered campsites, and some small state parks with campgrounds. New Germantown is a particularly scenic village halfway along this segment. After more zigzagging roads, Section 6 eventually ends at McVeytown on the banks of the

Juniata River.
