Swatara State Park

There are several multi-use trails in the park. Hikers, cyclists, equestrians, and pets are welcome. Six trails are designated as mountain bike trails. During the winter months the park is a great place for cross-country skiing. Boating, hunting, and fishing are also available. Swatara Rail Trail is ten miles in length from the Lickdale Interchange (Exit 90) of I-81 to the Pine Grove Interchange (Exit 100) of I-81. The trail grade is relatively flat with variable surfaces. Bear Hole Trail runs along the eastern side of Swatara State Park and is a rolling trail for hiking and biking. A ten-mile loop can be completed by using Swatara Rail Trail and Bear Hole Trail and crossing the creek at the Waterville Bridge and the Swopes Valley Road.
