If you live near the Mason-Dixon line you should take a hike on it... Yes, you can hike the M-D line check out the link...

Mason-Dixon Trail (MDT) section receiving NRT recognition is a 30 mile-long hiking path, following the western slopes of the Susquehanna River Gorge between Wrightsville and Norman Wood Bridge (at PA Rt. 372). This blue-blazed hiking trail rolls along river hillsides and drops into deep ravines while crossing a number of tributaries to the Susquehanna River. Along the way are an abundance of wildflowers, ferns, broadleafs, and evergreens.

Here is a much longer hike along the M-D line...

Two years ago I started section hiking the Mason-Dixon Trail System. The 199 mile trail starts at Whiskey Springs on the Appalachian Trail in Cumberland County, travels south through York County into Maryland to Havre de Grace and then east to Delaware before coming back into PA and ending on the banks of the Brandywine River in Chadds Ford. Much of the blue blazed trail in PA is road hiking, which I despise, so I’ve been picking the longest wooded sections and hiking those.
