Basketball courts, playgrounds and river views in local parks

Residents enjoy the amenities of Mount Wolf Community Park, which include basketball and tennis courts, playground equipment and pavilions for picnics. Next to the park is the Mount Wolf Ballfield, where local youth and amateur athletes can practice their swing. The nearby Greiman Park also offers softball and baseball fields. Adventurous locals have access to the Susquehanna River, where they can fish, boat or paddle. Across the river are the White Cliffs of Conoy, named after the White Cliffs of Dover in England. The cliffs sit about 30 feet above the riverbank, offering lovely views of the water. These cliffs aren’t a result of Mother Nature but rather the byproduct of waste from a limestone and dolomite quarry that operated in the 1800s. Many reach the cliffs via the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, the shortest route being from Koser Park in Bainbridge, a mile-and-a-half hike south. There’s also a three-mile paved trail to the cliffs heading north from Riverfront Park. Hiking to the cliffs and enjoying the view makes for a pleasant afternoon for outdoorsy locals.

Remnants of the Revolutionary War

Local history enthusiasts can enjoy a slice of York history at the Codorus Furnace, a few minutes east of Mount Wolf. Erected in 1765, the furnace was once owned by James Smith of York, one of the early Americans who signed the Declaration of Independence. The furnace cast cannonballs during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Today, the furnace is maintained by the Conservation Society of York County and serves as a monument to the area’s storied colonial past. Just north of Mount Wolf is Royal Manchester Golf Links, a golf club with 18 holes and courses overlooking the countryside.

Access to Interstate 83 and the Galleria Mall

With easy access to Interstate 83 and Route 30, locals are an easy drive away from the Galleria Mall in York, Bass Pro Shop and Capital City Mall in Harrisburg. Commutes to major cities like Philadelphia and Baltimore are also simplified. The town doesn't have much in the way of public transit, with the closest bus stops being a few minutes southwest of the community, on Loucks and George Street. Those stops are served by the Rabbittransit bus.
