Eastern PA Greenways & Trails Summit
September 18 @ 12:00 am - September 20 @ 12:00 am
“Endless Mountains, Endless Access”
For the very first time, the Eastern PA Greenways & Trails Summit will be held in Bradford County, located in the scenic Endless Mountains region of northeastern Pennsylvania.
Co-hosted by the Endless Mountains Heritage Region (EMHR), one of 12 PA Heritage Areas designated by the DCNR, the 2024 Eastern PA Greenways & Trails Summit will allow attendees to experience the beauty of the area’s pastoral landscapes, historic downtown Sayre and Athens, the Susquehanna River North Branch Water Trail (2023’s PA River of the Year), and incredible greenspaces like the Diahoga Trail and Round Top Park. The 2024 Eastern PA Greenways and Trails Summit is being funded in part by the DCNR, WeConservePA, and generous sponsors. We look forward to seeing you in the Endless Mountains, where we strive to create “endless access” to the outdoors!
These Greenways & Trails Summit events bring together a network of various agencies, organizations, and outdoor enthusiasts who are involved in planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, promoting, and utilizing trails and greenways in eastern Pennsylvania to improve outdoor recreation in the Commonwealth.
