I rode the entire length of the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail and the Conewago Rail Trail. I parked my car at the parking lot in Colebrook along Route 117. I rode west into Lancaster County where the trail becomes the Conewago Trail. The trail continues west, running along the Conewago Creek until it reaches Route 230. It took a little more than an hour to reach this point. I then backtracked into Lebanon County and back past my car. I passed the Mount Gretna turnoff and continued on into Cornwall. I crossed the old iron railroad bridge.I followed the rest of trail to its termination on Nineth Street in Lebanon. Across the street from where the trail ended there is a park with monuments commemorating Lebanon County natives who died in various wars.
The entire bike ride covered 39 miles.
