Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

This Trail's got Flow!

June, 2025 by jeffrey.r.schmoyer

Echo a lot of other 5 star reviews, this a beautiful fully paved trail worthy of any biker to make the trip to ride. What I didnt expect is that the designers of this trail got just the right amount of curve and undulation to give a rider that feeling of flow. Varied views, plenty of shade, and some trains nearby but not too close, oh and also Marietta is a cool little town... makes a great divert on one leg to find a lunch spot. If only this tied seamlessly to the Enola lowgrade trail... it nearly does via roads!

Conewago Recreation Trail

Pretty easy ride

June, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s definitely a rail-trail: pretty straight and flat. This trail reminded me of the Torrey C Brown trail in northern MD. It was a little rough, but certainly not unridable or even particularly unpleasant on my 700C hybrid bike.

Heritage Rail Trail County Park

Seven Valleys

June, 2025 by dane.burns

Billie and I rode the trail (some of it) on June 3rd for the first time. Headed South we got to the blockades at main St. I heard commotion under the overpass. I went and talked to the workers. They told me to ride through as the trail is open, but the horses were not removed but will be shortly. We are riding another section today. This by far, is one of the most interesting and beautiful trails we have been on.

Jonathan Eshenour Memorial Trail

Varied conditions throughout

June, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

The trail is easier to follow than I expected due to the “bike route” signs throughout. It’s in good shape. Multiple times it shares the road for miles at a time, but these roads had very little traffic.

Lykens Valley Rail Trail

Scenic trail through quite areas!

June, 2025 by rorynmarie

Although not totally connected, we found this trail to be delightful. It takes you through some safe, side streets to a fairly flat, forested path. The woodsy part is dirt/gravel and can be a bit challenging, as you need to be aware of the twigs, uneven surfaces,and wildlife. But hey...isn't this why we ride?

Conewago Recreation Trail

My least favorite local trail

May, 2025 by renae1

I live in Northeast Lancaster county and have ridden most trails in this area. The Lancaster part of this trail was repaired with unridable large gravel. The last time I rode it, we stopped and turned around as we worried about the impact on our bikes. It’s a jarring unstable trail surface. We now only ride the Lebanon county part of this trail … which is beautiful, picturesque, shaded, uncrowded, and well maintained.

Cumberland Valley Rail Trail

Trail Closed at Seven Valleys Overpass MM 11.5

May, 2025 by npe1jab

The overpass at mile marker 11.5 in Seven Valleys over PA Rt 214 is closed and Northbound trail users must descend an embankment next to the Four Springs Winery and ride through town to Church St to pick up the trail again. Southbound riders follow the same detour in reverse.

Conewago Recreation Trail

Terrible ride

May, 2025 by paulabrengel

We have ridden this trail several times. This is the last. Since the last time we rode here, they have topped the trail with large stone. It is so hard to navigate, it feels dangerous. We had to concentrate on the trail, rather than enjoy the surroundings. Used to be a lovely ride.

Bellefonte Central Rail Trail

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Really fun ride

April, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Hands-down amazing trail. It’s a nice wooded adventure, especially east of Riverfront Park, and it’s twisty! Not enough to really impede a good ride. I like the twists; they made the trail interesting in ways many rail trails don’t. Highly recommend for riders of all levels.
