Introduction

Hiking

Hiking is a healthy low-impact way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you are looking to challenge yourself, explore cultural landmarks, or just ‘get away from it all’

There are a wealth of hiking opportunities near Penn State’s University Park campus, within the state of Pennsylvania and beyond. This guide provides a starting point to exploring the University Library’s hiking resources and links to numerous external sites for more information.
