Wellsboro, PA
The annual KTA Spring Hiking Weekend features three days of hiking, camaraderie, and looking ahead to the future of KTA and trails. Each day, participants break into smaller groups and head out on guided hikes, led by local hiking club members who know the trails and keep you on the right path. You can join just for the hikes or stay with us for the whole weekend to enjoy the fellowship and evening programs.
Lodging is provided at the Penn Wells Hotel in downtown Wellsboro. The Historic Penn Wells Hotel has welcomed visitors to Wellsboro for over 150 years and provides a classic, nostalgia-filled experience, accompanied by fine dining in the Penn Wells Hotel’s restaurant, known locally as the Mary Wells Room.
If you prefer camping, we recommend Hills Creek State Park or Leonard Harrison State Park.
Limited rooms available in the Penn Wells Lodge, contact office to request.
