The Mid State Trail Huntingdon County is one of those Pennsylvania counties that the industrial-urban sprawl of the East forgot about. Traffic speeds along Interstate 80 to the north, the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the south, Interstate 99 to the west, and U.S. Route 322 to the east. Meanwhile, life goes on at a slower pace in Huntingdon County.
Spring is the perfect time for both.
Some other fine trout streams in Huntingdon County are the Spruce Creek, Standing Stone Creek, Globe Run, Garners Run, Shavers Creek and Perez Lake. From Barree, you can also access the Mid State Trail, a 170-mile beauty that extends from a point on U.S. Route 22 between Water Street and Alexandria, in the northeastern corner of Huntington County, to Blackwell, in southern Tioga County. It is the second longest trail in Pennsylvania. About 47 miles of it is in, or very close to Huntington County. The Mid State Trail is a ridge runner's delight through Huntington County.
