There is only one Continental Divide in the USA, so there for there can be No 
Eastern Continental Divide Trail.

The is already a trail in the works on the East coast. It is the The East 
Coast Greenway® 

Walkers, cyclists, and other trail advocates have joined forces around an 
audacious project, a 2,500 mile traffic-free path linking East Coast cities 
from Maine to Florida. Launched only 8 years ago, this vision for an urban 
alternative to the highly popular Appalachian Trail is quickly becoming a 
reality. URL: http://www.greenway.org/
