Bellaire Woods-Lancaster County Conservancy
Bellaire Woods Nature Preserve, named after the neighboring crossroads village of Bellaire located close to Lebanon County, exhibits a tremendous variety of native wildflowers and mushrooms in addition to numerous trees and under story shrubs. Recent inventories note that at least 3-dozen species of spring wildflowers can be found on this property. An unnamed tributary to the Conewago Creek bisects the prop-erty, thereby creating wonderful forested wetland habitat. More information about the Lancaster County Conservancy can be found at www.lancasterconservancy.org.

Conewago Trail
This five-mile linear park is perfect for running, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, or bicycling. The journey takes you on a flat course through thick woods, a boulder field, and picturesque farms. This route first began as the Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad in 1883, which operated for almost one hundred years. As you journey through this peaceful corridor, think for a moment of the many people who once traveled this route when it was part of the world’s largest railroad system. More information can be found at the Lancaster County Parks Web Site.
