0.00 miles Route 944	The AT passes under PA 944 (Wertzville Road) via a pedestrian tunnel. This is 4.3 miles east of the intersection of PA 944 and PA 34 and 2.3 miles west of the intersection of PA 944 and PA 114. The marker on the attached map indicates this point. GPS: N40.2844 W77.0938 There are crowd paths which will allow access to the trail from the road. From here the northbound trail goes north towards Section 9. The southbound trail goes south towards Section 10. --- The current AT Guide to PA (12th ed., 2012) states that there is no parking here and there are many no parking signs along PA 944. The shoulder is not safe. The nearby business does not permit parking in his lot. Some older guides say there is limited parking along Deer Lane, the first road to the east. Anyone tempted to park on Deer Run should consider this 2010 statement from the Cumberland Valley Appalachian Trail Club and avoid parking there.. "There is NO parking on PA 944. There is a very limited space for parking on Deer Lane, and we do not recommend parking there. You can't get your car completely off the road. You are much better off parking 1 mile south at Sherwood Drive." See Mile 0.9 for details about this parking. 1/30/10 Updated 08/25/19 --- David Cullen --- https://goo.gl/maps/12bN2KjALuqySoTdA --- 2019

3.00 miles Bernhisel Bridge Road (2nd Junction with AT)	There is a little room for a couple of cars to park in the grass off the road. Parking is much better at Scott Farm. 01/27/10 01/27/10 --- Jim Foster --- 2010	A few
3.30 miles Bernshiel Bridge Road (3rd Jct. with AT)	See Mile 3.6 for directions to Ridge Road. After turning left from Ridge Road onto Bernhisel Bridge Road, continue north about 1 mile until the north end of the bridge over I-81. Here the northbound trail which follows the road over I-81 goes off to the right (east). This is Marker A on the attached map. I think there is a parking pull-off good for one car a little bit further north and perhaps some parking on the grass on the side of the road is possible. However parking is in general difficult at best. --- Rotate the street view to the northeast to see the northbound trail. The trail north can be seen as a dark green line paralleling the road to the east. The street view to the south shows Bernshiel Bridge Road and thus the AT going over the I-81 bypass. The northbound trail joins the road at marker B. See Mile 3.6. 01/24/10 --- David Cullen --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=40.244202%20-77.101135&daddr=4… --- 2010	0 to very limited
