I don't have a car but would love to live in a town where I could walk or shuttle to some serious backpacking country!
I know Eua Claire, WI has a great state long trail running through it.
And Ashland, OR supposively has a nice park that backs up to a very large and impressive state park. Or so i've heard...isn't there a trail that you can follow or something?
Consider The North Country Trail. Not familiar with the eastern portions [Adirondacks and Finger Lakes Region, etc.] but it runs through some great national forests [the Chequamagon National Forest in Northern Wisconsin] in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
Damascus, VA. Appalachian Trail runs through town. Virginia Creeper bike trail runs through town also. Damascus is on the edge of Mt Rogers National Recreation area with hundreds of miles of other trails. Damascus is about 10 miles east of I-81 and the nearest (small) city is Bristol, VA-TN, about 12 miles southwest. Knoxville is an hour or so south on I-81.

Chequamagon is one cool place! There are a number of towns in Wisconsin that are very accessible to it. I think though, in northern Wisconsin, you would need a car. My mother is from that area, Butternut, WI, and my uncle still lives there.
