The midway point of the trail is located in Cumberland County, and it’s a tradition for hikers to stop at the General Store in Pine Grove Furnace State Park where they try to down a half gallon of Hershey’s ice cream.You can obtain hiking maps of the trail at the Office at Pine Grove Furnace, and at the Appalachian Trial Conservancy building in Boiling Springs. You can begin your Appalachian Trail experience along Quarry Road by the furnace.
