Farm-to-Table

BY BRIANA WEBSTER HESS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY NICK GOULD

Centuries ago, farm-to-table

wasn’t a movement. It was a way of life.

Packaged and processed foods started to become the norm during the 1950s, when it became easier to transport food from long distances thanks to advances in road construction and various modes of transportation. Processed foods, such the iconic TV dinner, which debuted in 1953, just made life simpler when it came to preparing meals.

However, during the 60s and 70s, that mindset shifted; we can thank the West Coast counterculture for creating a buzz about fresh, local and organic food.

The women’s movement of the 60s also contributed to the rise of another phenomenon: fast food. Because so many women became members of the workforce during the 70s, fast food became the alternative to home-cooked meals. Unfortunately, because of the hectic schedules all family members maintain, that mindset persists. Chemically enhanced processed foods make up about 60% of the American diet, according to a 2016 report.

Duck Prosciutto Salad: Pecan Meadow Farm duck; Keswick Creamery Blue Moon cheese; Brogue Hydroponics’ endive and red bibb lettuce; Rebecca King microgreens; California Olive Ranch extra virgin olive oil and sherry vinaigrette.

BUT, IT’S NOT all doom and gloom. The arrival of the 21st century was accompanied by a renewed interest in healthy living. Movements such as farm-to-table, Buy Fresh/Buy Local and slow-food have created a demand for organic and locally sustainable agriculture. The movements have also spurred an interest in cooking.

The term farm-to-table refers to the practice of consumers obtaining their products straight from local farmers, who provide them with fresh food instead of food from a farm that’s thousands of miles away. The middleman is cut out, meaning less work and less time to provide goods to the consumers. The concept has expanded to include restaurants, CSAs and even school cafeterias.

Buy Fresh/Buy Local is a nationwide program that encourages consumers to connect with local growers and food providers. Slow-food is a global grassroots campaign that promotes local food and cooking traditions.

Lancaster County has been a key player in these food-sourcing movements.

Our restaurants, markets, makers and farms have attracted the attention of the nation.

2019-20 DINING IN LANCASTER COUNTY

T

he farm-to-table movement has slowly shifted eastward across the country. Chefs and restaurateurs have made their way to Lancaster from the West Coast and have brought with them the philosophy of using sustainably sourced, fresh, organic food.

Sean Cavanaugh and Michael Carson are two such chefs who chose to open their renowned restaurant, John J. Jeffries, in Lancaster.

But, why Lancaster? “I was trying to figure out where the best spot would be to get closest to the farmers, and we’d just build the restaurant where the best farmers are and kind of reverse engineer it,” Sean says.

He narrowed it down to three locations: Northern California, Hudson Valley in New York, and Lancaster County.

“We made a connection in Lancaster. The Lancaster Arts Hotel was getting ready to go under construction. They were looking for someone to lease the restaurant to, so the timing was good.”

The timing was great, actually, and the location was superb. Not only did the area serve up an ample amount of farms, but Lancaster is also the halfway point between upstate New York, where Sean’s wife is from, and Pittsburgh, where Sean grew up.

Once construction was underway for the restaurant, Sean called Michael – who was Chef de Cuisine at the esteemed Charleston Restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland, at the time – to jump on board as his partner.

WHILE SEAN was a chef at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort in Colorado, he began to research nutrition more and more after realizing the fact that he had surpassed his dad in age. (His father passed away when Sean was 16.) “It was tough, but I started taking a different perspective on things. As time progressed, I realized that I was now two months older than my dad was when he died; then I was a half-year older than my dad was when he died. So, at that point, I really started looking into nutrition, and that led me down a rabbit hole of food sourcing.”

The Truth: Lil’ Ponderosa grass-fed dry-aged beef; house-fermented kimchee; local lettuce, olives, pickled onion, poached mushrooms, fresh herb vinaigrette and topped with Dove Song goat feta cheese. This dish pairs nicely with a glass of Waltz Vineyards merlot.

The banquette seating pays homage to the former tobacco warehouse the restaurant is housed in. The seats were designed to look like tobacco leaves.

After attending a Weston A. Price conference in Denver and reading loads of information about food and nutrition, Sean kept falling down that “rabbit hole.” He then reached out to a Colorado rancher whose farm was one of the locations filmed for a Kris Kristofferson movie. “That was the rancher I made contact with to start bringing beef from [the ranch to the restaurant]. The restaurant gave me some leeway because there was a lot of competition in Vail.

We kind of redid the restaurant,” he says.

“There’s obviously not a lot of farmers up in the Rocky Mountains, so we started bringing in black Tamworth hogs from a farm in Mississippi, using the whole animal and trying to make it work in a corporate setting.

It was a good first step, but I was only going to be able to take it so far.”

As the nutrition and sourcing factors became increasingly important to Sean, he decided to visit feedlots and slaughterhouses. “I really just pulled the curtain back, which most people don’t ever get to see. I then decided that this is what I was going to do now, and it wasn’t going to work in a corporate setting.”

John J. Jeffries,

having received its name from an 1890’s tobacco inspector whose name was found stamped on one of the original floor beams, was one of the first – if not the first – restaurants in Lancaster to pioneer the farm-to-table movement.

Various works of art hang from the walls of the restaurant.

While the transition didn’t run as smoothly as he would’ve hoped in the beginning, Sean is grateful that things have progressed since then.

“There wasn’t really a lot of guidelines for what farm-to-table was. We made lots and lots of mistakes. Plus, the recession started not too long after we had opened,” he recalls. “But, we figured it all out.

We were closer to the farmers, so we could actually cook, talk and work with the farmers. We had to work on these relationships. It finally worked, but it just took time. It’s a lot smoother today.”

He encourages other restaurateurs to take the leap, noting that many are afraid of taking that chance from a culinary viewpoint. “A lot of people don’t know how to work directly with the farmers and how to change the menus, but we’ve made all of these mistakes so other people don’t necessarily have to remake them.”

THE GOAL, according to Sean, is “for what we do to become normal, and it

hasn’t.” Bottom line: Americans want cheap food. But, according to Sean, “You’re better off eating less higher-quality food and saving money in the long run because, hopefully, your health will be better if you take care of yourself now. So, you either pay now or you pay later. What’s that saying? ‘Pay the farmer now or pay the doctor later.’”

Buying local also boosts the area economically. “Why wouldn’t you want that money to stay in our county or in our state?

It’s better for schools, policemen, firemen; it’s better for everything,” he points out.

WHILE THE RESTAURANT is considered fine dining – seating options include two dining rooms, the gallery, the bar area and an outdoor terrace – Sean says the attire is usually business casual.

The menu is seasonal and consists of small and large plates; however, the protein may change from time to time. “We always have pork, beef and venison or lamb. For poultry, it’s either chicken, duck, pheasant, young turkey, geese or guinea hens; it could be a breast, a leg, etc.,” he shares. “We probably use close to 1,500 lbs. of bones a month.

That’s the basis for most of our sauces.”

John J. Jeffries’ beef comes from Lil’ Ponderosa Beef, a ranch in Carlisle owned

by Bob Boyce. Sean is happy to share that his restaurant owns a USDA slaughterhouse in Chambersburg, where the meats are dryaged between 14 to 21 days, depending on the carcass. “We hang it, cut it and bring it in” to the restaurant.

If the menu calls for beef, that could be anything from ribeye, New York strip, sirloin

or brisket to flat irons, skirt steaks, braised or short ribs.

One of the restaurant’s signature items is called The Truth, consisting of beef tartare. “I put that on the menu, and it’s been on there since the beginning. Why name it The Truth? Can you handle it? It’s high-quality molded raw chopped beef. It’s also very popular with European clientele,” Sean notes.

Other items that are standard on the menu include the Surf & Turf, sea scallops, and the Jim Bim Bop (a Korean pork and rice dish). Sauces are made in-house, as is their kimchee. “We also prepare a lot of gluten-free dishes. We make everything from scratch, so we know what’s in everything. Most of the menu just happens to be gluten-free.”

BEVERAGES include Pennsylvania beers, wines and spirits. One special libation is called 730 South Broom Street. “That was my grandmother’s address. When we would come in from Pittsburgh to go to Wilmington, the entire family would get together – an Irish family – and we always made whiskey sours.”

JOHN J. JEFFRIES seems to be reaping the benefits of its excellent reputation, but it wouldn’t be the restaurant it is today without the great farmer connections and outstanding staff.

“Two of the biggest things for our success have been the farmers and the staff, and that’s interchangeable. Our staff is really good, and they take care of people. It’s a really good professional crew,” he says.

Every day, the restaurant has a “family meal” for the staff. “One of my mentors when I was younger said, ‘Always take the time to sit down and eat at least once so that you can take care of yourself … Take care of yourself and take care of business as well.’

“It’s just nice for everyone and builds teamwork. We’re all an extended family. It gives our staff a chance to eat and some time to unwind before getting started.”

WHEN VISITING the restaurant’s website, one will notice an entire page dedicated to the eatery’s belief in charitable giving. Sean and Michael believe in giving back not only to the community, by donating monthly to local foodbanks, but also by giving on an international level. “Through effective altruism initiatives, most of that money goes to actual people in need. Half isn’t spent on fundraising or billboards.

We’re not a big corporation, but we want to help where we can. At least we know if we concentrate our giving through effective altruism, we can make an impact for a small business.”

The restaurant also provides micro loans through Kiva, an international nonprofit whose mission is to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive. “The more we give, the more we get back.”

One of the newest eateries to come to Lancaster is Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar, which opened in November 2018. The restaurant’s motto is “Healthy Indulgence,” and its menu reflects that, serving sustainable, healthconscious and locally sourced cuisine.

Harvest’s CEO Dr. Dave Magrogan saw the need for high-quality, farm-fresh food that offered a variety of dining options not usually found in traditional farm-to-table restaurants. Harvest supports the philosophy of “know your farmer, know your food,” which is why the restaurant works closely with 75 local farmers, including food sourced through Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-op.

Most of the seasonal menu offerings include dishes under 500 calories and non-GMO. The restaurant is also proud to offer vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan items. Harvest also features a progressive wine list with over 50 wines by the glass – many of which are certified sustainable – local craft beer and seasonally inspired cocktails. Guests may also opt for beer, wine or sangria flights.

And although menu offerings change seasonally, one popular item that’s on nearly every menu is the spicy shrimp noodle bowl. Other menu staples include filet, salmon and scallops.

Butternut squash soup and butternut squash dip, served warm with rye crostini, have become Harvest’s signature items; however, they’re only available on the fall and winter menus. Harvest also offers special wine and bourbon dinners.

Horse Inn 540 EAST FULTON STREET, LANCASTER 717-392-5528 or Horseinnlancaster.com Hours of operation: Tuesday-Thursday, 5 p.m.12 a.m.; Friday & Saturday, 5 p.m.-1 a.m. No reservations.

Explore the offerings and experience the history at the Horse Inn. Its tenure as a restaurant dates to the 1920s. The Shaub family renovated the hayloft into a speakeasy for neighbors to congregate and share a drink. Current owners Matt and Starla Russell have made numerous improvements to the building.

The iconic restaurant uses fresh ingredients daily, many of which are sourced locally. The restaurant’s “Farmers & Friends” include Stoner Veggies, Lapp Family Farm, Rooster Street Butcher, Groff’s Veggies, Lancaster Coffee Roasters and more.

According to the Horse Inn’s website, “While the menu is routinely tweaked, we also strive to deliver a slice of comfort with dishes our diners have come to love in the years since we opened in 1920. Each day the chalkboard menu is updated based off the food that is available and determined by a culinary school trained chef and staff. Our focus is on a few high-quality dishes, each receiving plenty of attention and a good helping of inspiration.”

Some of the restaurant’s well-known dishes that remain on the menu year-round include Horse Fries, the Horse Inn Cheeseburger, and, of course, the infamous Tips N’ Toast.

Located on the banks of the Susquehanna River in York County, John Wright Restaurant offers farm-to-table American cuisine with a bit of history on the side.

The restaurant and its store are located in a large warehouse built in 1916 by R.P. Wilton.

The structure once housed a silk mill, a textile corporation and a weaving operation.

All of the products used by John Wright, from meat and dairy to produce, are farm fresh, local and non-GMO. Fish and seafood are sustainably harvested, and the bar focuses on local brews and spirits. Bread is also made in-house (with the exception of sliced bread, which is sourced from the Lancaster Food Company), as are the desserts.

The restaurant’s website states, “We take pride in the quality of our food by purchasing from local farmers. Our personal relationships with our farmers ensure that our products are not processed or pre-made.”

A list of local farms and purveyors include Breezy Meadows Farm, Musselman’s, Pine View Dairy, Farm Fromage, Shady Acres, Locust Point Cattle Company and more. The restaurant offers a breakfast menu, brunch buffet, lunch menu, dinner menu and kids’ menu.

Its alfresco dining in the warmer months has become John Wright’s trademark. Dine in the Four Seasons Dining Room, River Room (banquet area) or patio. It’s also a popular venue for weddings and other special occasions.

2811 LINCOLN HIGHWAY EAST, RONKS 717-687-6621 or Millerssmorgasbord.com Hours of operation: Monday-Thursday, 4-8 p.m.; Friday & Saturday, 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-7 p.m.

Miller’s Smorgasbord & Restaurant is widely known for its award-winning smorgasbord, covering everything from soups, salads and breads to meats, vegetables and desserts. The eatery emphasizes made-from-scratch items, such as the chicken & waffles dish that its founder, Anna Miller, began serving during its humble beginnings.

Miller’s Executive Chef and Bakery Manager Steve Gainer says, “Ninety percent of the stuff that you’re going to see here is made from scratch. Seven days a week, we cook for the day, every day.”

And, it’s not just the amount of food that’s being offered, but the quality of the food being served at Miller’s is top-notch. The restaurant is provided with the freshest of produce from local farms. Fresh, seasonal ingredients include corn, tomatoes, zucchini, cabbage, watermelon, cantaloupe and broccoli, just to name a few.

“I try to source as much local stuff as I can, especially in season,” Steve says. “We are just really blessed with excellent soil and the knowhow. As it comes in season, as much as I can get from these guys, I do. It’s truly local and farm-totable foods.”

In addition to Miller’s traditional smorgasbord dinner, the restaurant also offers two lunch and dinner options. Wine, beer, spirits and cocktails are also available.

Oregon Dairy 2900 OREGON PIKE, LITITZ 717-656-2856 or Oregondairy.com Hours of operation: The Restaurant, SundaySaturday, 6 a.m.-8 p.m.

2019-20 DINING IN LANCASTER COUNTY

50 ROCK LITITZ BOULEVARD, LITITZ 717-500-3436 or Perdiemlititz.com Hours of operation: Coffee bar, 6-11 a.m. daily; Breakfast Buffet, 7-10:30 a.m. daily; Dinner, 4-10 p.m. nightly; Bar, Sunday-Thursday, 4-11 p.m., and Friday & Saturday, 4 p.m.-12 a.m.

If you would like a side of rock ‘n’ roll with your meal, head to Per Diem at the Hotel Rock Lititz.

The restaurant falls under the TFB Hospitality umbrella, which also operates Annie Bailey’s Irish Public House in Downtown Lancaster, Gravie Kitchen & Commons, and TFB Catering, both based on the Rock Lititz campus.

The overall theme is farm-to-table and includes products from local purveyors, such as Rooster Street Butcher, Olio Olive Oils, Fox Meadows Creamery, and Stoll & Wolfe Distillery, to name a few.

Brothers Josh and Jake Funk are the masterminds behind TFB Hospitality, and according to Josh, their collaboration with Rock Lititz is a result of his fraternity brother, Shaun Clair, seeking his advice on providing meals to musicians who were using the facilities at Rock Lititz.

Planning a stay at the hotel? Wake up and visit the Coffee Bar. Enjoy jumbo muffins, croissants, breakfast parfaits, bread pudding, etc. Take your pick of beverages from coffees to teas. The Coffee Bar also offers hot chocolate, chai lattes and London fog.

Start the evening off with a lively libation from the bar. Drinks include house cocktails, the classics, and an impressive list of various wines and craft beer.

Those wanting dinner can start with an appetizer such as Beet & Stracciatella or The John Candy (poutine). Entrées include Purple Potato Gnocchi – made with Village Crest Farms mushrooms – Scallops & Pork Belly, Chicken & Waffles, Salmon and more. Definitely leave room for dessert.

Railroad House Inn 280 WEST FRONT STREET, MARIETTA 717-426-4141 or Railroadhouseinn.com Hours of operation: Wednesday & Thursday, 4-10 p.m. (kitchen closes at 9 p.m. both nights); Friday, 4-11 p.m. (kitchen closes at 9 p.m.); Saturday, 3-11 p.m. (kitchen closes at 9 p.m.).

Brunch: Saturday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Built in 1823, the Railroad House Inn was a hotel for canal workers because of its close proximity to the Susquehanna River. Over the years, it transformed from a hotel to a residence, psychedelic coffee house and even a disco.

Almost 200 years later, the Railroad House Inn is a “comfortable yet refined” restaurant which focuses on seasonal cuisine that supports local farms and suppliers.

The menu centers on upscale fare, also known as “innovative comfort food.” While one may experience casual fine dining in the restaurant’s Brodbeck Room, parlor bar or main dining room, guests can dine on more pub-friendly cuisine in the Perry Street Cellar, located in the lower level of the building.

No matter which area you’re dining in, the food offerings are seasonal, local and farm fresh.

Grass-fed beef comes from Marietta’s own Drager Farms. Other local ingredients come from Lancaster Central Market and a small garden located behind the restaurant, where chef Talon Lewis grows tomatoes, peppers and herbs. The restaurant also works with Lehman’s Farms in Wrightsville.

And, although the menu does change seasonally, some items remain constant but have changes in presentation.

The restaurant’s Sunday brunch is also a hit, especially with those traversing that particular section of the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail.

Root

The Log Cabin

223 WEST WALNUT STREET, LANCASTER 717-826-9130 or Rootoflancaster.com Hours of operation: Monday-Friday, 4-11 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m.

Everything is made from scratch at this all-vegan restaurant. Having opened in December 2015, Root’s focus has always been on vegan and vegetarian food and libations.

Patrons will find more than just a salad or veggie pizza at Root. The eatery’s menu changes every six to eight weeks to take advantage of seasonal items that are available from Lancaster Farm Fresh Co-op.

Some of Root’s favorite menu items include Wings, Pesto Mac and Cheeze, Oyster Mushroom Po-Boy, Cuban, Avocado Rueben, and the Big Mic – this includes two seitan patties topped with special sauce, lettuce, cheese and onions on a roll with fries.

From pasta to cheesecake and everything in between, the entire menu focuses on making everyday meals healthier without the use of meat, poultry, seafood, eggs or dairy products.

Expect traditional food with a twist at Root. For instance, their key lime cheesecake is made using ground cashews instead of some of the traditional ingredients. It’s still just as tasty, but it’s a lot healthier for your body.

Beer and wine selections are also vegan-friendly, with various rotating beers on tap and several wines to choose from.

Everything is prepared fresh daily; therefore, it is noted on the restaurant’s website to “please allow extra time for preparation.”

11 LEHOY FOREST DRIVE, LEOLA 717-626-9999 or Logcabin1933.com Hours of operation: Open for dinner TuesdaySaturday; Brunch, Sundays, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Built in 1929, the original log cabin building that now houses the restaurant was constructed with oak logs from the surrounding Lehoy Forest on a site once occupied by the Nanticoke Indians. It started out as a speakeasy and has undergone a number of renovations since its early beginnings.

Just reading the menu is enough to motivate one to drive to Leola to try any one of The Log Cabin’s many mouth-watering dishes.

Known for providing great steaks and lobster, the restaurant continues its tradition of providing guests with upscale fare in a charming and historic setting. The Log Cabin specializes in local farm-to-table cuisine and is the perfect setting for any occasion.

Chef Steven Painter says the menus emphasize a variety of what he likes to call “polished casual” offerings. Seafood is more prevalent, but the dinner menu also offers the Cabin Burger, Meatloaf, PA Farm Raised Duck a L’Orange, fried chicken and more. The restaurant also has a children’s menu and vegetarian menu. Stay for after-dinner spirits and choose from a list of classic cocktails or view the expansive wine menu.

And, don’t forget the restaurant’s Sunday brunch, featuring anything from lobster tacos and smoked salmon with bagels to creamed chipped dry beef with buttermilk biscuits.

The Greenfield Restaurant & Bar 595 GREENFIELD ROAD, LANCASTER 717-393-0668 or Thegreenfieldrestaurant.com Hours of operation: Lunch, Tuesday-Saturday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.; Dinner, Tuesday-Saturday, 5-10 p.m.; Brunch, Sunday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m.

Enjoy an upscale menu that features farm-fresh ingredients, time-honored entrées, innovative specials and award-winning wines at The Greenfield Restaurant & Bar. The restored farmhouse dates to the 1780s; it was repurposed into a restaurant in 1979.

The Hottenstein family owned The Greenfield for nearly three decades. Former White House Chef John Moeller and his wife purchased the renowned restaurant in 2018.

The Greenfield is known for its mouth-watering crab cakes, salads and amazing presentations.

The restaurant is always stocked with fresh fish, USDA prime beef, rack of lamb and other delightful favorites. The menus change seasonally to focus on locally sourced ingredients. A list of local partners includes Lindendale Farm, Stoner’s Homegrown Vegetables, Livengood Family Farm, The Turkey Lady, Kegel’s Produce, and more.

The Greenfield offers lunch, dinner, brunch, light fare and bar menus. Guests can start with an appetizer for dinner, such as short rib egg rolls or a PA-preferred cheese plate, then move on to an entrée like herb grilled lamb tenderloin, European chicken breast or South African rock lobster tail.

The restaurant also serves mid-plates.

For the past decade, The Greenfield has won the Wine Spectator Award for Excellence, so be sure to check out the restaurant’s expansive wine list.

Catering/banquet and children’s menus available online as well.

Freddy States, who owns Marietta’s McCleary’s Public House and the Railroad House Inn, is of the opinion that Lancaster County’s trails and the foodie movement beautifully complement each other. “People have become more health conscious,” he notes. “They can come here and walk or bike the trail and then enjoy one of our restaurants.”

There are more than a dozen trails that dot the county, with several of those being rail trails. Rail trails were created along the abandoned railroad lines that once passed through the area. These trails are perfect for hiking, biking, walking, jogging, skating and more. The various park systems and organizations, such as the Lancaster County Conservancy, operate greenways and preserves that are conducive to outdoor activities.

Pennsylvania is actually one of the premier states that helped to launch the construction of rail trails. The Keystone State has over 100 rail trails consisting of more than 900 miles. Below are some of the trails you’ll find located within the county: 1 Chickies Rock Overlook Trail: (0.9mile loop trail) Enjoy amazing views of the Susquehanna River and the surrounding communities of Columbia, Wrightsville and Marietta. Located at both River Front Park and on Furnace Road, Chiques Rock Outfitters offers rock climbing and kayaking packages as well as bicycle rentals. This trail mostly consists of dirt and gravel with some paved areas.

2 Conestoga Greenway Trail: (1.3 miles) The

9

paved multi-use trail extends from Conestoga Drive near Bridgeport to Lancaster County Central Park at the South Duke Street bridge and runs along the Conestoga River. Visitors says it’s great for hiking, biking, inline skating and walking your furry friends.

3 Conewago Recreation Trail: (5 miles)

This trail is located between Route 230 and the Lebanon County line, northwest of Elizabethtown.

Formerly known as the Cornwall-Lebanon rail line, it follows the Conewago Creek through scenic farmland and woodlands. The trail is great for hiking, jogging, biking, horseback riding and cross-country skiing. Wheelchair accessible except for the intersection crossing at Mill Road.

5 Enola Low Grade Trail: (Approximately 27.6 miles in Lancaster & Chester counties) This riverside gem travels along the Susquehanna River and runs through several townships and communities, including Manor, Conestoga, Martic, Eden and Quarryville. Trail enthusiasts can enjoy biking, walking and cross-country skiing on this crushed stone trail. Visitors will also take notice of the many scenic views, including a 1947 restored caboose.

6 Lancaster Junction Recreation Trail: (2.3 miles) This trail was formerly a part of the Reading-Columbia rail line. It runs between the hamlet of Lancaster Junction and Route 283 and past scenic farmland and beautiful meadows. The crushed-stone trail is ideal for biking, horseback riding (at a slow and steady pace) and walking.

7 Middle Creek Trail: (1.25 miles) This gravel trail follows the path that was once the trolley line between Ephrata and Lebanon. It follows alongside Middle Creek and is covered in tall oak trees. Other trails crisscross this trail as well.

Enjoy walking, hiking and viewing nature on this trail.

8 Northwest Corridor Linear Park: (0.7 miles) This trail can be found in Lancaster City between Harrisburg Pike and the 200 Block of West Lemon Street. The paved trail, also known as Mayor Janice P. Stork Corridor Park, has picnic tables and benches scattered throughout as well as a park area and small basketball court alongside it.

9 Northwest Lancaster County River Trail: (14.2 miles) This trail provides a scenic route for bike enthusiasts, inline skating, walking, crosscountry skiing and fishing. The trail, which runs along the Susquehanna River from Columbia to Falmouth, is paved with a few areas made of crushed stone. Visitors will enjoy viewing historic ruins like the iron furnaces, timeworn canal locks and an old quarry.

10 Warwick to Ephrata Rail-Trail: (approximately 7.5 miles) Sitting on an abandoned stretch of the former Reading & Columbia rail line, this trail passes through the communities of Lititz, Warwick Township, Ephrata and Akron. Visitors will enjoy scenic farmland views, historical sites, locally owned shops, restaurants and produce stands. The trail consists of asphalt, crushed stone and gravel.

4 Dean L. Saylor Park: (1.2 miles) The park’s linear trail extends through Warwick Township and Lititz Borough. Consisting of asphalt and crushed stone, the trail is great for biking, inline skating, walking and cross-country skiing. It also features scenic landscape, playgrounds, farms and natural areas.
