No, but the Allegheny Trail in WV (and others) have significant sections that 
are rails to trail and as long as you aren't at the edges of the towns they 
pass through, nice camp spots are typically easy to find (it's generally 
pretty level stuff).  Near towns you will likely get less than joyous camping 
experiences.

BTW - you realize this means I have to learn to hike faster - more stuff to 
do and still no time to get to it all.  Jeesh.  Why don't you guys quit 
finding this stuff <VBG>.
