About This Trail

A 6-mile segment of the 63-mile Conestoga Trail climbing to Pinnacle Overlook, a dramatic viewpoint 400 feet above the Susquehanna River in southern Lancaster County. The river-hills terrain is among the most brutal and beautiful on the trail, with steep climbs and rocky descents. From the overlook, views extend up and down the Susquehanna through the Holtwood Gorge.
