BIG HILLS AND CREEK CROSSINGS
“Great walking trail, my kids love to play in the water or cross the creeks along the walking trail. We usually take the orange trail [Lower Octoraro Loop], but there are a lot of big hills and creek crossings, so might be tough for elderly or jogging strollers.”
-Christine M.
