Susquehanna Gateway Heritage Area - SITE
Trout Run Nature Preserve
The nearby Susquehanna River is a major draw for migratory birds. So it is little wonder that the Trout Run draws Louisiana Water Thrush, who nest in the area, as well as warblers and woodland bird species. The 198-acre preserve features a heavily wooded ravine with more than 12 species of ferns, a colorful palette of spring-blooming wildflowers and other lush foliage that line the footpaths near Trout Run, which flows into the Pequea Creek, a tributary of the Susquehanna River.
Fishing and hunting are permitted in season.
This site is also one of six LCC sites with geocaching available. Geocaching uses a handheld global positioning system to introduce people to nature.
The Lancaster County Conservancy is the first non-profit land trust in the world to actively participate in geocaching. .
Restrictions: No bikes, alcohol, hunting, fishing, camping or fires. Pets must be leashed.
