Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Northwest Lancaster trail

July, 2026 by daria.schaible10

I did this with a friend on Friday 07/17/2026- 7/18/2026 . We rode from Columbia River Center to Riverfront park in E Donegal township on Friday and Saturday returned to the park and rode up to the end at Falmouth . It was an enjoyable ride with the twists and turns and the view of Schock‘s mill bridge and riding between the corn fields . Also saw a lot of cardinals .

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Nearby Gem -- Will Definitely Revisit

July, 2026 by lmstravel42

I recently learned of the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail and can't believe I've lived around an hour away from it most of my life and had never heard of it before. I walked the first 2.5 miles and will finish the trail in segments later this year. Very popular with bicyclists, walkers, dog walkers, families, seniors, you name it. Best of all, the trail passes through historic towns that most folks would never stop and visit. A true game waiting to be discovered or rediscovered.

Matthew Henson Trail

Slick when wet but very beautiful

July, 2026 by elizabeth.scuderi

A friend of mine and I cycled from Rock Creek to this trail today. It was really nice and a big surprise to me considering I grew up nearby but moved out of the area 25 years ago. It’s a little hilly and the boardwalks are super slick if it’s rained, but they’re awfully pretty.

Enola Low Grade Trail

nice trail

July, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

2 nice bridges and lots of rest areas. There is a lot of chalk that comes up from the trail I just did it on a 100 degree day. That was a mistake. It looks like they added new parking spots. I recommend it

Broadneck Peninsula Trail

Broadneck Peninsula Trail

June, 2026 by jackkboy

The Broadneck Peninsula Trail now extends from Anne Arundel Community College to Sandy Point State Park Headquarters for a total of 7.5 miles or 15 miles round trip. Parking is available at Broadneck park parking lots and the Cape Saint Claire Park parking lot. Great ride!

Ireland Drive Trail

Nice Walking Trail, not great for cycling

June, 2026 by 6qgnhshmzc

The trail is a nice trail through the woods and connects to Rock Creek park.As others have mentioned, many people let their dog off leash and get annoyed when asked to leash their dogs. The trail is not good for cyclists as it is very rutted with many tree roots and easily flooded after heavy rains. The trail also has a very steep hill for most of it’s length.

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

things you should know before riding this trail

June, 2026 by joelkring

For the most part the trail itself is in good condition. There is a rough area near mile marker 3, but its only about 50 yards long and another rough stretch near mile marker 7, just past the Mount Gretna turn off. That section is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile long.
There are multiple portable toilets along the trail, however the one at Lawn ,mile marker 2, is ( and has been for at least a year ) disgusting. also the one at the Root Beer Barrel parking lot has recently gotten worse, but not as bad as Lawn.
There are, as mentioned by others, too many e-bike riders who don't respect others on the trail, They pass without giving warning, ride beyond the posted trail speed limit and most importantly ride other than class 1 e-bikes.
Finally, why do some riders insist on having bright headlights or taillights? I can understand if you are riding on a road, but what purpose do they serve when riding ln a trail?

Airbnb right on trail in Burgettstown

June, 2026 by dowiakp

Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.

Hanover Trolley Trail

Lebanon Valley Rail-Trail

E Bikes....

May, 2026 by rudytoot99

There are too many fast bikes on these trails. There is going to be an accident where someone get hit by an e bike of these trails. Someone is going to get hurt badly. A guy when by me yesterday with an ebike with two bags on the back side of the bike, he was going over 20 mph and startled me as he went by.

Washington and Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park (W&OD)

bottom half of the trail

May, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

This is one of the nicest trails out there. Lots of elevations changes and a nice brewery ( caboose brewery) along the way. I did the upper end a few weeks before and the lower end later. Lots of rest stops and bathrooms. Nice towns until you get to the dc area and it all looks the same.
