Constructed in 2008, the Hollow Creek Greenway is a splendid, 1.7-mile, multi-use trail that winds through a secluded valley directly west of the boroughs of Jacobus and Loganville in central York County. Like the nearby York County Heritage Rail Trail, which it may some day connect to, the Hollow Creek Greenway takes users past lush woodlands, picturesque creeks and ponds and rural farmhouses. Although the greenway itself has a crushed stone surface, two paved trails; one that connects to the Dallastown Area Intrermediate School and Jacobus Community Park, and a second that extends east along Route 214 to the Susquehanna Trail and the north end of Loganville, have already been constructed. The York County Parks and Recreation Department, which recently bought the former horse rescue grounds near the greenway's northern terminus, will permit its extension into Nixon Park, while Springfield Township officials have ambitious plans to construct future extensions through the area, connecting to the trail networks in nearby William H. Kaine and Spring Valley county parks. The only caveats are that the greenway's southern terminus, off Water Street on the north end of Jacobus, is rather unremarkable, and there are no signs informing users about the ramp connecting to the Route 214 extension on the other side of the underpass. This is in marked contrast to the greenway's northern terminus, which features a well-defined trailhead with ample parking off Valley Road. The extension to Jacobus Community Park and the Intermediate School is also unsigned,
