The York County Heritage Trail begins in York, Pa., and
runs into Maryland where it becomes the North Central
Railroad Trail, and continues to the town of Ashland Md. The
Pennsylvania side is 21 miles while the Maryland side
is 20
miles. The trail climbs from York to New Freedom,
and then
descends to Parkton. From then on, the trail is
fairly level to
Ashland. From York to New Freedom, the
trail runs along
the Liberty Limited/North Central Railway.
In Maryland, it
runs along the Gunpowder Falls River. The
trail is made up
of finely crushed gravel and runs through
mostly rural areas.
