Climbers Run Nature Preserve spans 1,105 acres and features over 16 miles of trails, along with a 66-foot observation tower that provides expansive views of five counties. The Conewago Recreation Trail is a dirt surface and perfect for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing in winter. The trail stays open daily from dawn to dusk.

The Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area spreads over approximately 6,000 acres and is home to waterfowl, grassland-nesting birds, and wetland-dependent animals. A great display of nature is the annual snow goose migration from mid-February to early March when up to 200,000 snow geese and thousands of tundra swans stop over at the 360-acre lake created by a dam. There are more than 20 miles of hiking trails and a Visitor Center.

These ruins of an old home are an interesting landmark along the Elder's Run Trail. They are what remains of a home and springhouse that were built in the 1930s, but torn down about 30 years later.

This creek is the main feature along Middle Creek Trail (as its name implies). There are spots where the trail runs over the river, but this is a well maintained and accessible trail with bridges, so no need to worry about getting your feet wet!

This trailhead is a central point where Middle Creek Trail, Explorer Trail, and Horseshoe Trail connect. Middle Creek Trail leads to a very pleasant loop along the creek and eventually connects with Elder's Run Trail and the other end of Explorer Trail. Horseshoe Trail runs straight through the park and eventually connects to the Appalachian Trail. While this is a good junction to choose your own adventure within the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, there is no parking here. The Visitor's Center to the north or Spring Mountain Road Parking Area to the south are better starting points for a hike leading to this junction.

Short trail accessible to wheelchair or stroller. It will lead you to the Willow point where you can observe the north goose migration.

It is the place to watch thousands of North Goose migrating. I was told they come usually in February but in 2023 they were here end of January already.
