First mile bumpy but fine, last two narrow and all natural. The 7 miles in between are really enjoyable, gravel & decommissioned road. Can cross bridges on both ends to ride Bear Hole trail . Didn’t ride this time, but took both bridges over the Swatara creek. Trail is canopied the whole very, lots of Creek views - scenic ride.
First time on this trail and rode gravel bike - had a blast with all the different trail terrain .. other reviews are spot on. This is a very unique trail! We rode in August, starting in Lickdale at Monroe huge parking area (love the grass spots), since the campground preferred people parking there instead of at their lot. Even though I read the reviews, was still surprised at the distance of the old macadam road (FYI .. it’s easy to move out and has lots of speed bumps & deer jump out). It was fun on gravel bike! As you get close to end of trail you’ll cross Swopes Vally Road .. be prepared if you go the next 1.7 miles (Northern Spur) in the summer, you may experience as we did, way overgrown waist high grass, narrow paths with fun dips before you reach the field by Hampton. Was told there is a really good diner across the street. Plan to go back and glad I had my gravel bike for fun and comfort!
Daughter and I completed the trail. Started in Lewisburg went all the way to the other end. Stopped for some light lunch at the Rusty Rail. The food was great. Nice ride back! So many Beautiful Amish barns and farms to take in.
This trail has it all- paved surfaces, beautiful scenery, a good mix of shade & sun, benches, and porta potties all along the way. Early mornings are best to beat the crowds.
Very nice trail: Started in Shippensburg where it’s paved the first mile or so, then crushed stone. Adjoining path along the NW side for horses. I like the combination historic & agriculture markers making it equally informational. Mostly shaded, but one stretch went through an alfalfa field and the scent was wonderful! A first cousin to honeysuckle! The NE portion, the newest section toward Carlisle, goes under large power lines about 2 miles, so it’s exposed and no shade. I’ll ride it again!
First time on this trail and will definitely be back. 99 percent paved surface and very well maintained. The wide path winds through woods, farmland, and local areas with amazing scenery of the Susquehanna River, historic buildings, flowers, farm fields and more. Lots of shade and benches to rest on along the way…
I came to scope out this and the connecting Conewago Recreational Trail for my wife and her dog trailer. Mostly shady there is a nice variety of woods, fields, and trail side back yards and regular benches. The surface is well maintained with mowed grass shoulders most of the way. For a midweek morning ride I saw a dozen walkers, another dozen bikers, two folks on horseback, along with a fawn and some smaller critters actually on the trail.
My first visit; won't be the last. Lots of shade riding through the forests around Mt. Gretna, more sun exposure at Lebanon end. Although it was a 90 degree day, it felt quite cool riding through the woods.
A beautiful, shady ride largely through Moshannon State Forest. Good, occasional views of the river. Some UTV traffic.
This is a very pretty, flat paved trail. Very enjoyable and the town of Marietta in the middle of the trail is a great little trail town.
I'm trying not to feel unkind or prejudice but coming down trail on Front St. is a bad element of many homeless ppl sleeping everywhere, one guy got alittle mad at me yelling after me why didn't I stop to talk, some saying hi & come sit, odors like crazy, just didn't feel comfortable. It's been several years since walking or riding down this area and was so sad to see this. I understand they need a place to go but if this is a tourist attraction for Hbg not good, looking for other places to do nice bike ride
