Navigation Notice: Leaving Alfarata

Leaving AS 4: Alfarata Station, runners cross a paved road and follow Brickyard Road, a dirt state forest road, before turning onto the Mid State Trail (MST) at a switchback. Now on singletrack, the MST descends into a shady hollow, running parallel to the Norfolk Southern railroad before reaching Barre Road and Neubauer Lane (left turn).

From here, runners cross the railroad and pass through the small village of Barre, then cross the Little Juniata River before turning left onto Mountain Road (gravel). After 0.6 miles, the course reaches the MST Barre Trailhead at the Little Juniata Natural Area.
