Thursday Oct 27, 2022 - Swatara State Park

BEV will lead a moderate 4.5 mile hike on 3 mountain bike loops in Swatara State Park in Northern Lebanon County. We will hike section loops A, A1 and A2. We will meet at the trail head at the Mountain Bike complex (NOT Trout Run). 

MEET: 10:00 A.M. at State Park Lane trail head. NOTE: there are no facilities at the Mountain Bike trailhead; however, Trout Run does have facilities. Trout Run is on the right before State Park Lane. If you are going to stop at Trout Run, please allow extra time. 

DIRECTIONS: Interstate 78 to Interstate 81North. Exit at first Exit (Lickdale/Ft Indiantown Gap, Route 72). Left at light on top of exit. Left at the next light (North on route 72). Continue on Route 72 until it changes to Route 443 East. 0.9 miles to the entrance to State Park Lane, turn right, continue to the parking lot on the left. (The sign for State Park Lane is hard to see, it is opposite of Chapel Drive.) If you get to Twin Grove RV Resort, you went too far. 

If you come over the mountain and through Pine Grove, use 443 west. State Park Lane is on the left 2.4 miles after Twin Grove RV Resort. 

For those who use GPS, 0 Chapel Dr., Jonestown, PA 17038 should get you to the entrance to State Park Lane.
