to spend time. It’s got shopping. It’s got food. It’s got breweries and
bars. Sometimes, though, it’s only natural to crave a little fresh air. Below is a list of places within a half-hour drive of Carlisle where residents and visitors alike can escape into nature for some invigorating hiking, or perhaps some relaxed walking.
DISTANCE FROM CARLISLE The Letort Nature Trail can be accessed from Carlisle’s own LeTort Park.
WHAT IT OFFERS Carlisle is home to the entrance of the LeTort Nature Trail, a 3-mile, ADA accessible trail that runs from Carlisle’s LeTort Park to South Middleton Township’s South Spring Garden Street. The trail follows LeTort Spring Run, a limestone trout stream where visitors can fish and (in some areas) swim.
