Welcome ​to the website of the Susquehanna Appalachian Trail Club.  SATC is one of 30 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!​
