The Pine Creek Rail Trail  •  0.2 miles

Once the railroad industry disappeared from Central PA, the rails were no longer needed. Thus the old rail lines have been turned into usable trails for everyone from experienced bikers to family fun. The trail is made of crushed limestone and features beautiful natural scenery. The Pine Creek Rail Trail is perfect for all experience levels from the avid biker to a fun afternoon family outing.
