    Default Port Clinton, PA

    Wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a mail drop in Port Clinton, PA? Our schedule has us walking through probably on a Sunday so the PO won't work.

    The Barber Shop may accept mail drop but may not be open on Sunday. Give them a call to confirm. If they won't be open, ask them for a suggestion. Those folks are super helpful. Also, go to the Barber Shop even if you don't have a mail drop! It's awesome.

    Are you talking about this Sunday? I will be in the area, probably closer to Eckville but may be able to pick you up and shuttle you on Sat. morning. PM me if all else fails. Iceman

    The A.T. in Port Clinton is 1.5 miles one way from a 24 hour Super WalMart. https://www.walmart.com/store/4612

    Look at the Google Earth and the following directions copied from another post on this topic.

    Using a new rail trail that crosses the AT just Trail-south of the rail yard (coming from town, need to climb up to it).

    I observed a social trail from the rail trail (compass north side of rail trail underpass under PA 61) onto PA 61 west shoulder which would be a shorter and nicer walking approach to the greater Cabela's/Walmart/Wawa area than trying to walk the whole way on PA 61 especially over the PA 61 river bridge. The new rail trail and the social trail puts you out on the big road on the correct side of all of railroad, river, and road.
