Route and access notes

A linear rail trail through York County, Pennsylvania, running from the Mason-Dixon line through York to John Rudy County Park on compacted and paved surfaces.

Planning this route

The refreshed connected geometry is 44.1 km, consistent with York County's current 27-mile listing. An active railway runs alongside the trail between New Freedom and Seven Valleys, so crossings require attention.

Access and source limitations

The mapped trail carries sunset-to-sunrise access restrictions. York County permits Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes but prohibits Class 2 and Class 3 e-bikes; obey posted rules and railway crossing controls.
