The Milk Route

This is a nice country route near Landisville.  Not extremely hilly, but it does dip steeply in to some creek bottoms.

Get to it by parking at the Hempfield Rec Center.  I don't know if the rec center's bathrooms are available, but it would be worth a try.

Out of the parking lot, take a right, staying on the grass, and then the first right on Snapper Dam road.  Then follow the map.

The first half mile is through suburbs, but the rest is through farm country.  You'll see many idyllic rural scenes along the way.  I mapped a 6.7 mile route, but there are lots of optons to make this course shorter or longer.

There are no restrooms or water along the way.  The roads don't have much shoulder, but cars are infrequent enough that they can give you wide berth.

My mom used to buy raw milk from one of the farmers along this route, so hence the name "The Milk Route."

This is one of my favorites.
