From Wikipedia:
The Horse-Shoe Trail is a 140-mile (230 km) trail that runs from the western edge of Valley Forge National Historical Park westward toward Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. It ends about 15 miles (24 km) northeast of Harrisburg at the Appalachian Trail.[1]
The trail was developed for equestrian and pedestrian use, according to the Horse-Shoe Trail Club guide (see below), hence the name (horse + shoe).
The "blazes" for this trail are yellow horseshoes or yellow blazes.
Parking is available at the Hopewell Furnace Visitor Center but only while the center is open. In the summer that would be 9-5 seven days a week. Other seasons, the parking area would be closed on Monday thru Wednesday and open 9-5 the remainder of the week.
