This is a unique 609-acre nature preserve, donated to the Mt. Hope community by a private owner in…read more1994. The preserve aims to protect the wetlands in the Swamp Creek watershed. The park offers 10 miles of hiking trails. I walked the Nature Trail and the adjoining Quarry Trail, and found them very peaceful. The trails were shady, with burbling creeks and lush ferns aplenty. I saw several turtles in the pond. I also saw a plant that I believe was ginseng (see photos). I encountered only one other person on my walk. According to the Strawberry Hill Web site, all of the main trails were once used for logging a tree farm that occupied part of the property. In the 1850s, the pond on the property provided water for a saw mill located on the Swamp Creek/Middle Creek juncture. Strawberry Hill offers many public programs, including summer camps, naturalist classes, nature walks, and geocaching events. In February and March, you can learn how to make maple syrup in the maple sugaring classes. They also host events such as the Twisted Turkey Trail Tussle race (10 K, 10 mile, and 1 mile).

I skipped the park and was here specifically for the bridge. Martin's Mill Covered Bridge is a…read morehistoric wooden covered bridge located at Antrim Township in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. It is a 205-foot-long (62 m), Town lattice truss bridge, constructed in 1849. It uses no arches or exterior supports and was considered strong enough to support a bridge up to 200 feet in length. It was less costly to build than traditional arch supported bridges. It crosses Conococheague Creek. In 1973 the bridge was rehabilitated after being carried downstream by flood waters during Hurricane Agnes. Steel bracing was added at a later date to stabilize the bridge. In spite of being altered over the years due to destruction and restoration it remains a good example of this type of covered bridge design and contains approximately two-thirds of its original timbers. The bridge is only open to pedestrian traffic and is located at the end of a curvy road down to the creek. There is a small area for parking nearby. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. [Review 15581 overall - 571 in Pennsylvania - 1085 of 2021.]
