Heritage Rail Trail County Park

Great For Kids

August, 2025 by rkoppy

We Loved this trail. We got on at the Brillhart Road Parking lot went down the trail through the Howard tunnel, all the way down to the Hanover Junction. It was pretty much all in the shade. There were sections with very low grade ups and downs but the grade was so low you couldn’t see the hills visually, you just felt the difference in your legs. There was also minimal street crossings and they were all super small back roads with minimal traffic, which was great for my kids.

Bloomsburg Area Recreation Trail

Love how the town added this bike trail so beautiful

Enola Low Grade Trail

Superb flat Trail with amazing views of the Susquehanna River

August, 2025 by paulruns7777

This was the second time I visited this trail. But the change in parking location from Quarryville the first time to Red Hill Road in Pequa this time made all the difference. From the that trailhead, you can choose what direction you’d like to enjoy the trail. But I would highly recommend going west towards the Martic Forge Trestle and the beginning of the spectacular views of the Susquehanna to River

Conestoga Greenway Trail

Not much to say

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s a simple riverside greenway. It’s a little hillier than I expected for a riverside trail, but it’s in good shape and not too hard to ride. Most of the river view is blocked by shrubbery, but you can still see it, and it’s pretty nice. The trail was a bit crowded on a Monday evening.

Greater Lancaster Heritage Pathway

Incredibly boring

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s along the bed of a would-be expressway, and therefore there’s really nothing to see. I averaged 12 mph, and it felt slow. It’s in outstanding shape and looks new, but the perfect shape combined with the lack of scenery made it utterly boring. At least it had a fun downhill.

Landis Valley Road Sidepath

Boring but well-maintained

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s effectively a widened sidewalk along a suburban boulevard opposite from a commercial shopping center. I’m sure it’s functional in that way, but it’s not really a *trail.* I’ll still give it 3 stars though because it’s in perfect shape.

Manheim Township Bikeway

Short and sweet

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s very short, but a good ride while it lasts. The Oregon Pike crossing is daring. Other than that it’s just a simple high-quality short-trail.

Warwick Township Linear Park Trail

Pretty simple

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Pretty straightforward; not much to say. Just watch the tight switchbacks north of the tunnel if you’re on a bike or something with wheels.

Warwick Township Highlands Trail

Impressively narrow in spots; aggressive hills

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

In all honesty, I rode this entirely too fast. The trail is quite narrow, enough so that I had to pull over to let another cyclist continue in the other direction. That said, I still had a lot of fun blazing the downhills. Lots of root-bumps as well. Some of the hills are pretty aggressive for bikes.

Manheim Township Community Park Trail

Just a jumbo-sized park pathway

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s really just a park pathway but longer. Nothing special. Smooth ride.

Farmingdale Trail

Not in great shape—mostly

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

I’m giving this an extra star because of the eastern extension; the eastern extension is in great shape and fun to ride. However, the western mainline is not in good shape. Many spots had dense stones where I spun my wheels. The main parking lot is closed until November, and there’s a section of trail covered in orange construction material. I suppose it would be a nice walk, but it really wasn’t a great ride.

Lancaster Junction Trail

Small but mighty

August, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Very reminiscent of other longer rail-trails. A little rough in spots.
