York County Pennsylvania Hiking Trails
Lakeside Trail
|
|
Gifford Pinchot State Park
Length: 8.5 miles
Rating: Strenuous
This is the longest and most scenic trail in the park. It may be accessed
from all major use areas of the park. Walking time is five to six hours.
Many parts of the trail are easy walking with gravel surfaces, but some of
the remote sections are narrow with uneven footing. Many hikers combine
portions of this trail with other trails like Alpine, Gravel, Oak and Quaker
Race to make shorter loops.
