Biking

Ready to ride? The Hershey Harrisburg Region offers a variety of scenic pathways and rugged trails for all skill levels in any season. Mountain bikers will enjoy a variety of challenging trail options, while those seeking a flatter more scenic experience can opt for the Greenbelt or Rail trail!  Challenge yourself with an early morning summer ride where you can finish your route as the sun rises. Then enjoy the rest of your day exploring other events and attractions throughout Hershey and Harrisburg.

See the springtime blooms with a trip early in the year, or watch the foliage change to bright reds, yellows, and orange tones with a fall getaway.  Our time to explore can sometimes be limited, but sights are not! Cover lots of ground and take in breathtaking scenery and historical nuggets planted all along the biking trails throughout Hershey & Harrisburg!
