Another great day on the trail 🌿
This past Sunday, the Bedford County Hiking Club explored Mid State Trail Section 4 along Maple Run, enjoying the beauty of the forest, good company, and another opportunity to experience Bedford County’s incredible outdoor spaces together.
A special thank you to Susan, Steph, and Tony for leading the way and making it a memorable day in the woods.
We can't wait to see everyone on the next adventure.

Follow the path that helped shape a nation.
Located in the heart of downtown Bedford, Fort Bedford Museum stands near the site of the original 1758 British fort.
After you finish exploring the fascinating exhibits, see how nature and history intersect by taking a spring stroll through the adjacent park along the Juniata River and imagining the frontier soldiers who once guarded the historic Forbes Road.
It all passed through here.
