Conewago Recreation Trail

Reviewed By eddE7296KF

This is a great trail for biking that will take you all the way up to the Lebanon county fair grounds, but no need to go that far, the Jigger Shop in Mount Gretna is far enough. It is roughly 12 miles from the start of the trail on Rt 230 in E-town to the Jigger Shop, maybe half of it on a slight incline. Basically when you get to the top of the hill, or close to it, you get off the trail and head down another path to a road that takes you right into Mount Gretna. It's hard to miss. Best part is you can treat yourself to an ice cream or milk shake, and they have cold water to refill your water bottles for the ride back, and roughly half the ride back is on a slight down hill decline. Last time I went the whole distance the trail was not is such great shape beyond Mount Gretna, but that may have changed.

Pinnacle Overlook

Reviewed By Pannipannini - Maryland, United States

We did a long bike from Kelly’s Run parking lot to Pinnacle and beyond. The Conistoga Trail is the perfect day-long home opportunity. Amazing scene - albeit some steep climbs. You need water and layered clothing (depending on the time of year) and good shoes. Rock scrambles happen.

Turkey Hill Overlook Trail

Reviewed By Pannipannini - Maryland, United States

We did the entire trail to the end and looped back on the rail trail. You can make it longer if you like with the loops that weave in/out of the main trail. Great no matter what the season - unbeatable scenery and quiet.
