Exploring Harrisburg's Scenic Fall Foliage Routes and Trails | BHHS Homesale Realty

Temperatures may be cooling off, but fall is no time to stay indoors. October is prime leaf-peeping time around Harrisburg, especially at these incredible parks, trails, and routes near Harrisburg homes for sale recommended by our real estate agents.

  • Wildwood Park - 100 Wildwood Way, Harrisburg, PA 17110
    Whether you work from home or in an office, head to Wildwood Park for a lunch break getaway. Located just minutes from downtown, the park is easily accessible but feels far from the city. Eight nature trails of varying lengths and levels of difficulty accommodate both brisk walks and leisurely strolls. The dog-friendly trails pass around a lake and through woodlands, marshes, and meadows, providing plentiful opportunities for bird watching and wildlife spotting. Wildwood Park is open seven days a week from dawn until dusk. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.

  • Amish County Scenic Drive
    Changing autumn leaves and historic charm combine to make the Amish Country Scenic Drive an ideal road trip. The 102-mile route begins on Highway 462, not far from Lancaster homes for sale, and takes just over three hours to complete. Immerse yourself in the Amish lifestyle and culture with a stop at Plain and Fancy Farms. Highlights include the authentic Amish County Homestead, Amish Experience Theater, and Farmland Tours. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site features exhibits and living history programs depicting the early days of industrialization in the United States, as well as a u-pick apple orchard during fall. 

  • Conestoga Trail
    The 14.3-mile Conestoga Trail poses a challenge for even veteran hikers, but the payoff is a series of stunning views that are well worth the effort. Be sure to pick up a trail map at Pinnacle Overlook, the start of the trail. Navigating the steep hills and rock scrambles requires focus and effort. Once you reach the top, the scenic splendor of the Susquehanna River takes your breath away. The return trip includes views of Tucquan Creek and a number of small waterfalls. 

  • Chickies Rock County Park - 880 Chickies Hill Road, Columbia, PA 17512
    It may not be the Titanic, but you'll feel like king (or queen) of the world when you visit dog-friendly Chickies Rock County Park near Columbia homes for sale. The centerpiece of the second-largest regional park in Lancaster County is Chickies Rock, a mammoth outcropping of quartzite rock that soars 100 feet above the Susquehanna River. Once you reach the top of the one-mile hike lined with colorful trees, you'll enjoy panoramic views of York County, the borough of Marietta, and Lancaster County farmlands. If you want a longer walk, the park is home to a segment of the 14-mile Northwest Lancaster River Trail that runs alongside the Susquehanna River. 

  • Strawberry Hill Nature Preserve - 1537 Mount Hope Road, Fairfield, PA 17320
    The words "science class" might make people squirm, but Strawberry Hill Nature Preserve disguises its environmental education mission within a beautiful day exploring the diverse habitats around Fairfield homes for sale. In addition to the seven trails on the preserve, hikers can access the extensive trail system within Michaux State Forest. Bring Fido along and challenge the kids to see how many different types of wildlife they can spot or how many birds they can identify. Visit the website for a calendar of free monthly guided hikes and other events. Hours are dawn until dusk daily.
