Welcome ​to the website of the Susquehanna Appalachian Trail Club.  SATC is one of 31 volunteer clubs that help maintain the world's largest hiking-only path, the Appalachian Trail. We offer about 100 group hikes each year,  mostly in and around Central Pennsylvania - otherwise known to many thru hikers as "Rocksylvania". We support and practice "Leave No Trace" principles and welcome your participation!​

PPL Construction Project Completed - PPL’s construction project to upgrade their Sunbury-Dauphin electric transmission line which crosses the Appalachian Trail approximately 1/2 mile north of PA Route 225 (at approximately mile 1157.0) has been completed.  The new towers and new lines are up and working.   If you will be hiking to “shock rocks” or beyond during the next two months, please be advised that the condition of the maintenance road into the rocks is in terrible condition.  You will either encounter deep mud and standing water or slippery ice and frozen conditions.  PPL will be returning in the spring to repair the damage the truck traffic has done to the road, but until then be aware of the poor conditions.
