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.
