Outdoor Activities

When the weather is fine, there’s no better place to be than outdoors. The Hershey Harrisburg Region offers ample opportunities to soak up the sunshine and enjoy nature.

If you’re not running around Hersheypark®, there are a ton of outdoor activities in Hershey and Harrisburg to keep you busy! Take a rugged trek on the Appalachian Trail that runs just north of Harrisburg. Grab a paddle and spend the day kayaking or canoeing along the Susquehanna River or one of the region’s tranquil creeks. You don’t even need to pack your boats and bikes because renting equipment is easy. Learn a little about nature while you’re exploring one of our parks, where the paths are stroller-friendly and the wildlife is ready for their closeups.
