Conewago Recreation Trail

A nice trail located in Elizabethtown. It is a straight line shot trail, no hills or anything. The ground in nice because it is dirt/​gravel, so low impact. A little boring, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers right?

Very well maintained path for hikers, runners, and cycling enthusiasts. With several entrances along 13 miles of trail, it is easy to use and fun for all. Most of the trail is shaded and runs between farmer’s fields and the Conewago Creek.

I am astonished how anyone can give this less than 5 stars. Very smooth, very flat, very well maintained, and lots of shade for the hot summer days.
Get out and experience Pennsylvania.

A coworker suggested this system which connects to the Lebanon Valley trail system and it was quite a nice ride. Its a hardpan former railroad track, so its a smooth ride. My only issue is its width. i wish it was just a couple feet wider as the majority of it is about the size of a railroad track. This makes for a problem when you encounter other bikers, hikers or horses… usually all at once.
Just a side note, theres no real address here so I used the closest intersection. If your driving on 230 away from E-​town and come across industrial road, youve gone too far. You can see on the little map a railroad track diagram. Thats the place. Also, since its such a popular trail, parking can be an issue too.
