Hike the D&H Rail Trail with EMHR and the Rail Trail Council of NEPA

Come join Endless Mountains Heritage Region as we make our way to Susquehanna County to experience the D&H Rail Trail! This overnight two-day hike will begin at the Thompson trail head on Saturday, August 16, at 11 a.m. to check-in. We ask you please park near Twin Ponds on Perry Road (41.857054, -75.538511) in Thompson.

The first day of this hiking adventure will begin after registration and will be approximately 9 miles on a flat route, led by a member of the Rail Trail Council. We will walk north to Buck Falls, stop for a late lunch/break, and return back to the Thompson trailhead. Please pack your own lunch/snacks for the trail.

Overnight accommodations can be found at Olivia House (126 Rockwell Rd, Susquehanna, PA 18847). Overnight supplies are also needed to camp: a tent, sleeping bag, etc. The evening will be filled with games, food, campfire and fellowship. Dinner will be provided by a local restaurant and will be served at approximately 6 p.m.

On Sunday, we will depart from the Luciana Park in Lanesboro and travel South to Brandt Gorge by 8:30 a.m., again led by the Rail Trail Council on an easy and somewhat flat route. This hike will be about 5 miles. Please plan accordingly for lunch or snacks again this day.

The cost to attend this event is $10, which will help support a local restaurant in Susquehanna County.
