Park owned by the Borough of Hanover, in York County, and shared with the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. The lake is the major water supply for Hanover, McSherrystown, and Penn Township. There are may trophy big-mouthed bass and some of other species. This is also a good location to see meadowlarks, bald eagles, osprey, and water fowl. Some picnic tables are available.

Hanover Trolley Trail

Reviewed By Pannipannini - Maryland, United States

It’s 3.2 miles round trip from the Moul Field start. The reward is a view of the mountains at the end. We had a hard time finding the beginning of the trail since TA only says Moul Avenue - which is too broad. It starts between the condos/townhouses and the treeline by Moul Field.

Codorus State Park

Reviewed By sage97

Great park . Lots of trails to hike. Great place to picnic, small or large gatherings. Multiple grills. The lake is expansive, canoeing, small boats and pontoon. Great fishing. You aren't suppose to swim in the lake, but many people were enjoying the water. The bathrooms are clean. Because of Covid the pool and concession stands are not open. Lots of free parking.

Hickory Falls Family Entertainment Center

Hickory Falls is fully-open despite the pandemic for family entertainment and following CDC guidelines for the health and safety of our guests and employees. Hickory Falls was established out of a childhood dream. Since 2002 that dream grew beyond anyone's expectations. The Hickory Falls Happiness spills into the region with the addition of year-round go-karts, a huge play-area, a virtual reality arena, Rollerball bowling (duck pin size) and private party space rentals for the smallest to largest family/business gatherings. These are just some of the highlights. Our mission remains to provide a safe and fun environment where families can spend quality time together. Grandparents with grandkids. Fathers with their daughters and Moms with the sons. Our investment in the community is the hallmark of what we do each day. We provide a bit more happiness to each guest that comes to visit during all four of Pennsylvania's seasons.

Hickory falls has come a long way, the mini golf course is super fun and has some challenging spots. The arcade has improved so much and has fun games for all ages. Upstairs there is bowling, and then you have other options like the go carts. A great place for kids birthday parties, fun for date night as well.
