This fall there is a collection of three updated visitor-friendly guides from the Cumberland Valley in the South Mountain Region featuring many of our state parks and forests.

Revised water trail guides are available for the Yellow Breeches and Conodoguinet creeks. The Yellow Breeches Creek Water Trail Guide provides boating and recreation information for approximately 22 miles of the Yellow Breeches, divided into two trips due to the existence of several hazardous dams and the lack of approved access and/or portage.

The Conodoguinet Creek Water Trail Guide provides information for approximately 40 miles of the Conodoguinet. The trail begins near Carlisle at North Middleton Park and ends at “The Point” in West Fairview where the creek flows into the Susquehanna River.

Water trails are comprised of access points, boat launches and day use sites. The guides also include boating and fishing regulations, safety tips for paddling, and emergency and tourism information.

Cumberland County and the Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau also have completed a revised Local Food, Farm and Outdoor Attraction Guide. It includes a directory of farmers markets, roadside stands, pick your own operations, farm stays and other agritourism locations. In addition, the guide includes information on outdoor recreation opportunities available in Cumberland County.
