Susquehanna Gateway Heritage Area - SITE
Turkey Hill Trail
This ribbon-like Lancaster County Conservancy site in Manor Township meanders along the shoreline of the Susquehanna River and features a summit that offers breathtaking vistas. It’s a great location to watch for bald eagles, vultures, ospreys, hawks, egrets, gulls, geese and swans. The birds rest and feed on the nearby Conejohela Flats year round. The ample supply of fish and birds is the reason Susquehannock Indians chose to live and hunt in the area hundreds of years ago.
After observing majestic birds circling on updrafts or gracefully diving toward the water for fish, hike through the deciduous forest, the world’s largest pawpaw (trees with short, banana-like fruit) patch, sassafras trees and groves of oak, maple and sweet birch.
Restrictions: No bikes, alcohol, hunting, fishing, camping or fires. Pets must be leashed.
