Hiya....
Here's a link for a page about the Yough Trail
http://www1.pitt.edu/~mbebic/yough
This is a rail trail about??? miles so I don't know if that fills your 
bill.  
Also in the Area is the LHHT..Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail
but that's a ridge trail with shelters a la AT.

http://parec.com/state_parks/laurregn.htm   is a link for the State
Parks in the region,,maybe you can find some info there.

And here is a link to the KTA...our state hiking affiliation.
Maybe you'll find something there.....

One of our listers lives and hikes in the area and may
have some info for you but she is currently off list...hiking down
south.  I will forward your post to her. Maybe once she gets home and
catches her breath she can help you...Hope this helps   Kahley
