You can find outdoor fun in the Riverlands of Lancaster awaits. Take a walk or bike ride on a beginner trail, or for the more experienced outdoor adventurers, try a more challenging hike.
For those looking to bike, we recommend these trails.
Make sure you stop by Columbia Crossings to learn more about the history of the Susquehanna River and its surrounding areas. Not only can you see and learn amazing things on the trails, but there are also great overlooks on and around it!
Another great way to get outdoors and into nature this winter is by volunteering at the Lancaster Conservancy. Volunteering with the Lancaster Conservancy provides the opportunity to on preserve our natural lands by removing invasive plant species, trail work, litter removal or tree care. There is no experience and no long-term commitment necessary to volunteer. You can also make it a family outing with kids (over the age of 10) being able to join.
Experience Lancaster's Amish Heritage on a road trip around the county, to find all of 25 covered bridges. This is great for those who love the sense of adventure but prefer the comfort of a vehicle this time of year. These historical bridges are an amazing site and a great photo opportunity.
