You’ll be seeing a lot of blue…

Our blazes are Sky Blue and can be easily spotted from a distance. Depending on the location, you may see them as plastic blazes or round emblems.​

Because we are a system of trails, we often share our path with another trail belonging to a local, county or state park. This means that you may see another color next to ours, such as Red in the Broad Creek area of Maryland. In other places our trail passes through State Game Lands or private property. We appreciate that hikers who visit our trail system have a passion to help us keep the trails beautiful and litter-free.

Digital Maps

Here you can download official Geo-Referenced Maps of the Mason-Dixon Trail. Each map only costs $1.99 to download (we also have a few short hikes available for download at no cost). Proceeds from the sales of these digital maps goes towards maintaining and improving the 200 mile Mason-Dixon Trail in PA, MD and DE. Many volunteer hours were dedicated to creating these maps and keeping them up-to-date.​

Currently only Maps 4 and 5 are available so far. We will eventually have all maps available digitally, keep checking back for updates.
