Tuscarora Trail Distance Calculator Disclaimer

< Back

As of the beginning of 2023 there is a major detour of the Tuscarora Trail. The trail between Maurertown and Powells Fort Camp is closed due to a landowner blockage. The Trail now enters (or leaves) the Shenandoah Valley via Woodstock Tower RD. This detour adds 7 miles to the length of the trail. Please consult the

Tuscarora Trail website

for more details. I have not updated this distance calculator yet as I am waiting to see if this is a permanent or temporary detour.

The Tuscarora Trail is an ever changing, ever evolving trail. It is constantly being re-routed due to various reasons. I have done extensive research on this trail, have hiked over half of it, have done trail work on portions of it and have visited 6 of the 14 shelters on it. I even helped build two of these shelters. So I can say that the mileages presented on this distance calculator are close but not exact distances for the Tuscarora Trail. I will keep researching and updating the app to get the data as close as possible. Remember: if in doubt, follow the blazes.

Also, if you are going to thru hike, section hike or even day hike this trail, please buy the maps and guidebooks from

PATC .

This one is very remote and if you encounter any issues on the Tuscarora Trail, the maps and guidebooks could save your life.
