The staff at the information center is very friendly and help you decide where you want to walk on the River Trail if you decide to do that. If you start your walk from there, you walk across the railroad tracks and head towards Marietta on the sidewalk for a while until you are closer to the river. She suggested we drive 5 minutes to the next place to park and showed me on a map. They do have bathrooms at the information center. They also have a company that rents kayaks. This is where the boat launch is and trucks with boat trailers have to use the entrance to the water on the right side of the building and park there. On holidays and weekends I'm sure it's very busy so I would park at the lot across the street or at another entrance point. The trail is paved and everyone was friendly. There is a place to eat right across the street from the info center. You can walk or bike the River Trail or just go and sit and have a nice time.

They have four trails, blue, yellow, white and orange (which is the Conestoga Trail). We hiked the yellow and blue. Each is on either side of the creek. The trails follow the creek out to the Susquehanna. When you are nonspot hiking takes between 1-2 hours to finish the whole thing. It is so beautiful here. The path directly follows the river and it varies in difficulty from flat ground to stepping over rocks to boulder climbing. It is fantastic! You can cross various fallen trees to get to the other side of the creek (it is safe the trees are stable and huge). So peaceful and quiet, until you hear the many waterfalls and rapids! Definitely going back to cheek out more trails. Only downside is limited parking. Went on a cloudy day.

I have to say, it's just as magical as I remember. I love that there is a bit of a drive through portion in addition to the lights you walk through. Everything seemed well organized, to include parking. There were several people directing traffic-- it was easy to get in and out. Tickets were to be purchased beforehand online-- adults are $12, age 6 to 14 are $7, and kids under 6 are free. There were different sections of lights where you could stop and take pictures, drink hot chocolate, and see the model trains. The only bummer is there was no Santa to take pictures with, which is something I specifically remember doing as a child. I'm not sure if this is the first year or not though. All in all, if you're in or near the York area and want to check out the lights, do it! It's well worth the money and memories

Because of the length of the trail there are many places to park and get a different experience every time. Two historic stations still exist from when passenger trains used the tracks; the Hanover Junction station and New Freedom station. Hanover Junction is famous for a stop by Abraham Lincoln on route to Gettysburg in 1863 and charged trains. Both stations are open weekends in the summer. Riding through Howard Tunnel is also a fun experience. From New Freedom you can ride the Steam Into History train on a Civil War era train. Different themes such as Halloween and Christmas are added in season and sometimes Abraham Lincoln joins the ride.

Its a really nice ride. Its a flat relatively level surface with lots of places to sit and rest and follows an active railroad track thru the woods and farm land. My only issue is that there are sooo many people at certain spots its kind of annoying. However in other spots its just you and nature. I also saw remarkably little trash laying around (amazing since people are pigs), so someone must come along and pick it up regularly and do maintenance. Kudos on that! You can walk, run, bike, ride horses. no motors allowed, so its a nice quiet day overall. check it out!
