Hiking Trails


Hiking trails exist at the Upper Chrome Barrens, Goat Hill, Rock Springs, and Nottingham County Park. You can design your own hiking loop or follow the Rose trail at Goat Hill, or any of the three trails (Laurel, Chrome, or Pal’s) at the Upper Chrome Preserve.

An article on hiking the Barrens was published in the Lancaster Sunday News in October 2013.
