Ever hear that saying "Take a hike!"? Whoever said that must have been here, because you should take a hike here.

We take our dogs here almost every weekend. There is a nice fairly flat 2 mile walk that our old dog really enjoys. It's never very busy in the early morning, quiet and beautiful!
Dog-friendliness: Very dog-friendly, must be on leash

Awesome hiking trail... Lots of nature. Make sure to hit 3 Bs for ice cream on your way out.

About Detweiler Park
Detweiler Park is the largest of eight parks of public land owned and managed by the Dauphin County Parks & Recreation Department. Visitors are encouraged to explore more than 7 miles of trails winding through varied habitats. Gardens, fields, meadows, evergreen plantations, and mature deciduous forests are some of the ecosystems in this biologically diverse park. Deer are seen frequently as well as a wide variety of birds including turkey, hawks, woodpeckers, and bluebirds. Trails are open daily from dawn to dusk. The 411 acre park was partially donated and partially purchased by Dauphin County from the Detweiler family in December of 2016. For more information on the acquisition, please visit our website.
