My partner and I just bought Elictric assist bikes, and this was a great place to try them out. The trail goes 3 miles to a highway, cross it and another 9 miles is easily accessible. One could bike adnausiam. Most is unpaved but rideable, very pleasant on an autumn ride.

Very good trail along the landscape of the farmlands, some segments need improvement, specifically the one that cross the route 743, where the cars go a high speed, there should be a traffic light, in order to go through more safe.

Its a 5 mile long trail that takes you through the woods and near some farms. It connects with the Lebanon Valley rail. The tree shade felt good while biking on a hot day. My one complaint is that the stone dust on the trail got my bike pretty dirty compared to other local trails.

Nice walking/biking/horseback riding trail. Ample parking and a very well maintained path. At the end of the trail it connects with the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail

I like this trail! Great surface for running, walking, or biking. A lot of the trail is shaded, which is a plus in the warmer summer months.

Lovely shaded and flat path. Prob better than 65% shade which when its 95 out is pretty important

Review №11

Great trail for a walk, run or bike. Mt Gretna seams to be the high point on the trail elevation wise. There is a twin kiss right off the trail too.

Review №12

Not my favorite of the various biking/walking trails in the area, as this trail basically only goes through boring farmland. But it is still scenic in its own way. And I have often spotted herds of deer off in the fields while on this trail. A solid trail that extends even farther out towards Lebanon

A terrific bike ride from Middletown to Mt Gretna. The stop for ice cream at the Jigger Shop in My. Gretna made the return ride even better. Well that, and the fact that the return ride is predominantly downhill

Great for biking and hiking. Only 5 miles long, but connects to the Lebanon Rail Trail for an additional 10+ miles

Review №31

Nice place to run. Nice scenery. Narrow, hard packed gravel path. I ran 10 miles out and back (from start of trail at rt 230 to the Lebanon county line) You do have to cross some rds but traffic is not bad, worst was crossing 743. Also limited parking at trail head. It can get crowded on weekends.

Review №32

I really enjoy this trail, it is local to me, nothing spectacular, its a paved path, you can ride horses or bike on it as well. It runs a good distance. And is good for like handicapped or older people that may need a smoother surface to be on.

Really like this trail. Road crossing at pa 743 can be dangerous. It would be nicer if there were occasional benches to rest and reflect. It would also be nicer if there were porta potties at a couple parking areas.

Its amazing trail to walk and see nature. I enjoyed walking with my buddies and was so happy to see view along the trail. Had great time but yes there is no porta potty there should be one atleast and some benches.

Review №46

A nice trail. You do cross over some country roads and visibility at some intersections is limited. I would recommend turning off the music and removing the headphones while out on the trail.The biggest drawback is no bathroom anywhere along the trail.

Great Rail Trail in PA. Connect it with the Lebanon Trail for a very nice bike ride. Then be sure to stop in at Snitz Creek Brewery to have a few fantastic beers. And make sure to hit the Mt. Gretna side trail and see what is happening in that neat little retreat community.

The Conewago Recreation Trail is a little more rustic than the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail, with a very slight grade; but it is well maintained and absolutely gorgeous. A beautiful spot for a walk or bike ride.

Nice flat crushed gravel trail against Conewago Creek...scenic farm vistas and pretty creek views, heavily shaded in parts and wide open farm fields in others. Flat and straight though, so easy and unchallenging running/biking.

Trailhead starts on outskirts of Elizabethtown across from Crowes Trucking. The parking area is nice. It starts out paralleling ETown road and from a field into eventually forest. Thus segment runs for 5 miles and transitions right into the Lebanon Valley rail trail. Thus section is very well maintained.
