Start in Port-Clinton and end in Duncannon or Palmerton these towns offer easy access to and from the trail.

Starting at Port Clinton and going east is a great idea. You pass the Pinnicle which is the best view in PA. Port Clinton to Palmerton (Lehigh Gap) is three or four days, which shelters in between. We did it in 5 days in 2006 and had plenty of time to enjoy Palmerton. Or you can go two more day to Wind Gap. Two or three more days takes you to Delaware Water Gap, with bus service. We took the bus from DWG to Port Clinton, where we left our car. The bus routing was complex and took forever, but it was a great hike. Enjoyed dinners in Palmerton (Bert’s), Palmerton, and DWG. This was a 9 day hike for us.
