The Northwest Lancaster County River Trail in Marietta, PA, offers visitors a multi-purpose, public recreation trail stretching approximately fourteen miles across five municipalities in western Lancaster County. Developed from a master plan in March 2003, the trail follows the historic Pennsylvania Mainline Canal route, incorporating some of the original towpath. This unique trail provides opportunities to explore industrial archaeological remnants such as abandoned canal locks, iron furnaces at Chickies Rock, and the old quarry operation at Billmeyer.
Connecting historic river towns and villages like Columbia, Marietta, Bainbridge, and Falmouth, the trail showcases the region's rich heritage and natural beauty. While the trail's current condition varies, there are several miles of developed trail, with plans for additional sections in the future. Visitors can utilize the digital trail map to locate access points and discover the trail's features, making it an ideal destination for biking, walking, and running enthusiasts seeking a blend of history and outdoor adventure.
