Great trail -- changes name at the state line and continues to almost Baltimore. We parked at the county park at the new northern end (bathrooms!) but would have gone to the Route 30 trailhead if we had known about it. Had intended to park in downtown York but there's really no place for those who want to be out all day. 27 miles to the state line, 27 miles back. One suggestion: signage in all the town directing users to food and ice cream. Missing a chance to support local businesses!

Stopped in to market for lunch while town. Lots of options, fun and vibrant atmosphere. Kids had pulled pork, dads had fried chicken. Great fish gumbo, tasty pretzel stand. If you like architecture, beautiful old building.

First, get the tickets good for this place, the industrial history museum, and, when open, the Colonial center. Well worth it. The history center is well-done with some very significant artifacts, including a huge display of case clocks, a lot of Colonial items, and some good WWII era items. But, the real gem is the nearby industrial museum, which has a display of Pullman Automobiles, some other historic autos, and a lot of steampunk industrial items that were just pure fun! Very well done. The Colonial buildings were not open due to cold but we could at least walk past and admire them. This entire complex is one of the best American history centers I've visited out of many. Admission to all is $15 per adult. My wife and I plan to go back in better weather to do it again.

Beautiful lake, had a great hike all the way around Redman and Williams. A couple of tunnels under I-83 were very wet but otherwise a nice walk with good water views. I-83 is pretty loud and runs right thru the park.

The park is on a hilltop and so has a great beautiful view. Plenty of places to walk around. They have picnic tables too to enjoy a lunch that you bring yourself. A rock area for photo ops or for the kids to climb around on. Well kept up and just a pleasant place to spend some time alone or with those you love.

We had our adventure down the slopes on the last day of the season. Considering the warm temperatures of 45 degrees, the open lanes still gave us a good ride to at least 3/4 down the slope. Apparently, the ride is much faster and farther when temps are below 40 degrees. Staff were plentiful, watchful, and friendly. The snow tubes are sturdy and visitors have the option to hitch a ride to the top or walk.
