Description
This trail is mostly doubletrack, although there is a section that cuts across Mill Road that is paved. This is a well-marked, multi-use trail that is used all year round. The great thing about this trail is the relatively few street crossings given its length. There are only about 6 crossings. It is a shaded trail with a ton of trees. Keep in mind that this trail is multi-use so keep an eye out for bikers and even horses. Between the creek and the horse farms, this rolling trail offers all you could want in a hike -- the sites, the smells and even some solitude. This does hook up with the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail which can make your hike even longer if you so desire.
