Backpacker magazine has a great database of hiking trails that you can view with Google Maps.
From the site's home page you can select the state that you wish to view hiking trails for and you will then be shown a Google Map of suggested hikes in that state. Each individual trail is displayed on its own map, alongside the length and difficulty of the hike.

The Google Map of the trail includes information about parking locations, shelters on the trail and photographs of some of the amazing vistas on the Appalachian Trail.
