Swatara State Park — Attraction in Union Township

Horrible! Hard to find roads to turn off of and when you do they are extremely steep down. Pulling out onto highway is dangerous and potholes deep. Only good if have truck or suv 4 wheel drive. Wanted to see cabin but Sand Siding road turn off bad.Trout Run only good road. Maps do not show cabin. Knew from internet where it was. Horse trail parking we stopped at to look at map. No name of that trail either. We figured it out. Not many people on trials so beware. Hope road to Waterville bridge is fixed. Didnt go there this time. That takes you to cabin too. Last fall was very narrow falling apart. Had suv. Park needs fixing up if want to attract people. I hike all over U.S. in state n national parks and this is not a well planned area. Disappointed . I grew up in Lebanon so knew of the area otherwise no one really would know it exists. Found it by accident. Just got back from Tremon falls and buttermilk Falls N.Y. no...

We went up with 40 students and we let the office know when we would be there. As we came across the bridge to start our hike, there was a Ranger there waiting for us. Without us asking, Ranger Dave was there to give our students a great history lesson!! It was so cool and the kids LOVED it. He was amazing and had endless amounts of knowledge about it. Even our students made comments about how they were blown away by Dave knowing so much- down to the exact size of each step! So cool- can't thank them enough for caring so much! The trails were very well maintained. Georgeous park! We did the southern loop starting and ending at Trout Run Trail Head- it was about 6.06 miles! -21st Century Cyber...

On 4/28/2021, my future Husband proposed to me on a rock, in the middle of the waterfall which, is the epicenter of a large picturesque window, set in the main room of Mr. Bordner's hand-hewn log Cabin. I often reminisce of my own breathtaking moment that day my beloved, Stephen, surprised me by his humbled romanticism. 🥰 While bikes, horses & leashed fur babies are welcome, it's a mild to moderate hike along the trail up the to the cabin. Once there, you'll certainly appreciate the history (framed upon the walls inside) of the Cabin, as the soothing sounds of the water falls just a few feet away.

A cabin setting with peacefull views, guaranteed to take your breath away, too!! Safe trails to...
