Directions from Hanover, PA: Take York Street / SR 116 out of town heading east. Travel about 1 mile turning right (south) onto SR 216 and traveling about 2.5 miles to the park entrance. After crossing the lake, take the first road on the right. When the road forks, take a left back into the campground area. The trail begins from behind the amphitheater. OR from SR 216 turn right onto Black Rock Road. Travel past the lake a short distance and you will see trailhead parking on your left.
ok for beginners, but if you are looking for something that requires a higher skill level you will want to run somewhere else.
You get creek, wetlands, lake, and woods experience with this trail! Not to mention it leads to the campground area and has amphitheater and playground! It was 3 miles all together with the trails we chose. Lots of hills in beginning and end. There is a side of road parking but if you drive too fast you’ll miss it. Only 5-car parking. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Will do again!
Nice trail but iwe followed the map and it was only 2 miles which turned out to be the short cut! If you want 3.8 pick up a state park map for find it online and you will see the difference. I have also heard lots of ticks. Had my two dogs there and hoping none are found on them tonight. I did spray them with a natural repellent first.
Combined a nice January hike with some geocaching in the area. Had the trail to myself.
some narrow trails a ton of tics and campers on trail with no trail ettict who let thier dogs off the leash.
Very narrow trails at places, especially with a large dog like mine but it's a nice easy trail. You can even take a short cut if you don't have time to hike the complete loop.
Awesome trail!
Not a whole lot to see and do along the trail. Some parts are a little mixed up with hunting trails and the trail markers aren't always legible. Overall a fairly short and easy hike.
Nice easy trail with various offshoots. Can get crowded at times especially the parking lot off Black Rock.
Nice trail
