Its northern terminus is near Bruceton Mills, West Virginiaat the Mason-Dixon Line, which here represents the boundary between West Virginia and Pennsylvania. It ends at the Appalachian Trail on Peters Mountain on the Virginia-West Virginia border.
The trail is not yet complete, and substantial sections are still on roads. It was initiated in 1975, and is being built and maintained by the West Virginia Scenic Trails Association.
