Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve

Allison Mellen

This place was fantastic! I recommend going early in the day if you'd like to avoid crowds (on Sunday). Large variety of native flowers, trails that go in and around beds of flowers for ease of photography, and many people encountered were friendly and open for conversation. In addition to the preserve, there are Scavenger Hunts created by "Uncharted Lancaster" targeted at both kids and adults that run all through the area, and Outdoor Sport Rock Climbing a short walk up the trail in Safe Harbor. Lots to do! Give yourself plenty of time. :)

I love coming to this place but for some reason I tend to miss the early blooms I was able to take a few pictures of the last remaining trillium and the Tunnel but it's really a colvert since water does run through it

Beautiful place to see the wild flowers! Wear sturdy shoes and no wheel chairs. People bring their dogs. It’s about 2 1/2 miles round trip. Use a GPS to find it. The Enola Low Grade Trail is nearby. Outside potty at beginning of trail. Bring your own food & water. You must take everything back to car. No trash cans. The road is hilly go late March-end of April- some benches, no picnic tables, take your camera! Large parking lot!

Short but beautiful hike bear the Susquehanna. But you can link this to the Ebola Low Grade trail to extend this walk for miles. …
