I know nothing of Penn. trapping laws so you'll have to check with local regulations. If I were new to an area I'd start road trapping.
Here in Iowa road ditches are public property so trapping culverts along the roadway is common.
You do have to realize that it being public it is common to find your trap missing along with your game.
But its a good way to get some experience trapping and find good areas to trap.
I know guys that would trap 100 miles of highway. A couple of the areas best trappers always had an impressive load of fur in their pickup bed.
Try to team up with someone. It cuts the cost and sharing the work makes a long day of trapping much easier.
best of luck
