The Thunder Swamp Trail System is a 45-mile network of hiking trails in Pennsylvania.

It was constructed by the Youth Conservation Corps during the 1970s through the Pocono Mountains.

The main trail is marked with orange blazings and is designated a "State Forest Hiking Trail" with special trail corridor protection.

There are several connector trails offering side trips.

The trail surface is challenging and is often wet, uneven and rocky.
