Conewago Recreation Trail

Now this Trail is 5 stars¿¿

November, 2025 by tim.deardorff

This trail has been resurfaced and it totally makes a HUGE difference… thank you to all who got this done- I was able to ride 30 miles round trip on both trails all the way to the Root Beer Barrel and back. Bikers have no more worries going to the county line or further!

Lock Haven Levee Trail

Absolutely Gorgeous Trail

November, 2025 by wwwknapp

I walked this trail on May 25th 2025 on a comfortable 70° evening from the eastern trailhead (Lock Haven Memorial Park) to its western trailhead. The views were spectacular. I had over 80 photos and that is after I filtered them down. My only issue was that the trail was under water where it passes under the North Jay Street Bridge. But that was not a problem because I was able to walk down one of the many ramps on the east side of the North Jay St bridge and walk across Jay street and ascend a set of stairs back up to the top of the levee. It afforded me views of veterans park, commemorative placards, etc. Parking is free at the eastern trailhead. However, there is metered parking at the western trailhead. For those of us who prefer cycling over walking, bikes, roller blades, and inline skating are PROHIBITED on the trail! Since I was pressed for time and I am more of a cyclist than a walker, I chained my bike to a tree at the western trailhead and drove my car to the eastern trailhead. With all of the picture taking, it took me a couple of hours to complete my trek to the western trailhead. The bike ride back to my car was easy and the traffic was light. This trail is definitely a “Do Over” trail for me!

Cumberland Valley Rail Trail

Good crushed stone farmland trail

October, 2025 by pjcobra

Level, thin tiny crush stone on packed earth trail. Rolls easily, just a step below paved. From small old town of Newville through woods and farmland 10 mile ride to small university town of Shippensburg, with a couple small villages on the way. Horse path is next to bike/pedestrian path. You may see horses and riders on path. You will see farms, barns, cows, sheep, horses, cats, birds, assorted other animals, louse distant mountains. You will smell manure. It is not 15.8 miles. It is 10 miles from park at Newville to Shippensburg. You can add a couple miles by going east from Newville to a dead end. It's a nice ride. In Newville you can park at the park at Cherry & McFarland Streets

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

One of the best!

October, 2025 by pjcobra

This is one of the best trails around. Paved. Short stretch onto a couple of blocks in Marietta with little to no MV traffic. Very scenic, along river, through woods and fields, along cliffs. Winding through woods, strait ways through fields and a park. Close to level, slight rise and fall along river. Well maintained. Super ride. I saw reviews from electric bikers but really they should stick to public streets. Better yet, buy a motorcycle or some other licensed motor vehicle.

Pine Creek Rail Trail

ceremonial opening into Wellsboro

October, 2025 by aa3jy

They had a ceremonial opening from Wellsboro Junction into Wellsboro today. Only allowed one day to explore the new section then closed for a couple of weeks to complete construction of a fence between the trail and the still active rail line.

Conewago Recreation Trail

Bumpy ride

October, 2025 by acphillips1

Nice short trail through Lancaster farm land. Definitely bumpy & would not be my first choice but good connector to Lebanon Valley Rail Trail. Today a section was closed near Rte 743. I figured a way around via Old Hershey Rd and Beverly to 743. A good gravel bike or mtb is the way to go on this one. Doable on my old Cannondale CX but shock absorption would have made this a lot better.

Autumn Ride

October, 2025 by smwarner4254

We had a beautiful morning on this great trail! It started off cool( in the high 40s) but warmed nicely by noon. Watched some trout being stocked in the river on our way back to the car. I’m looking forward to coming back and seeing more of this area.
