Shenks Ferry History Hike

Together, we will explore its rolling hills and hidden hollows as we learn the area’s vibrant history.

What to expect

This approximately 2.3 mile hike along mostly level terrain will involve crossing Grubb Run (the stream that flows through Shenks Ferry) three times at a moderate pace. There are a few short steep sections along the trail to navigate.

Dress for the weather and wear closed toe shoes. There’s always the possibility of wet feet as we cross the stream.

Bring drinking water and flashlight.

Will run rain or shine. Severe weather cancellations will be made on site.

Plus, I will have some special Uncharted Lancaster swag such as stickers, magnets, lapel pins, and 3″ patches for participants to choose from as a souvenir.

Parking

Park and check-in at the Shenks Ferry parking lot located at the bottom of Green Hill Road (off of Shenks Ferry Road) near the Susquehanna River. Google Maps wants you to park closer to the tunnel. Be sure to drive to the bottom of the hill.
