About This Trail

Imported description

The trail begins at the Enola Gay Low Grade Rail Trail and goes through a forest. The Turkey Hill Dairy Windmills are located at the top of the hill, and there is an observation deck nearby. The Turkey Hill Trail above the Susquehanna River is evolving again. Where else can you go see the largest pawpaw patch and the most important migration stop for shorebirds in Pennsylvania, stand at the base of two wind turbine, watch a landfill and see one of the most sweeping views of the river?
