Hiking In Lancaster | Imagine Lancaster
"Also in the southern end is Susquehannock State Park, which has several miles of trail that varies in skill level. Be careful with the Rhododendron Trail, especially if it has recently rained, as it can become slippery and treacherous for the less experienced hiker. That said, other trails like the Fire Trail and the Christmas Tree Trail are just as scenic without the potential hazards."
