Fun All Year Long No matter the season, York County has so many reasons for fun. From our farm-fresh food to our beautiful outdoor spaces, Mother Nature’s splendor is on display wherever you turn. Summer brings the heat and the adventure for the young and young-at-heart. Explore the Susquehanna River with a paddle in hand. Veterans of the water can stock up and push off from the shore at Long Level Marina. Newcomers can pick up a new hobby with kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding lessons at Shanks Mare Outfitters. Let a guide take the wheel and give you a tour of the river and all the history it holds with a free pontoon boat ride from the Zimmerman Center for Heritage. After all that activity, refuel at one of the delicious restaurants in town. Fall is the ideal time to get those perfect shots for your Instagram page as the leaves turn brilliant shades of the season. York County is known for its 4,500 acres of public park land and miles upon miles of hiking and biking trails. Disconnect from the world for a while and venture outdoors, where York County’s stunning vistas, rolling hills, and breeze-filled valleys will fill you with wonder. When the air turns cold, and a thick blanket of snow covers the ground, break out the skis and snowboards for an adrenaline rush down the slopes at Roundtop Mountain Resort. Or head to Avalanche Xpress with the kids and take a snow tube for a spin. Come in from the cold and cozy up with a cup of something warm in one of the county’s many coffee and tea houses. Spring is the time to taste something new along the Good Libations Trails®. Whether you’re visiting a family-owned vineyard, historic brewery, or a 89 Prohibition-era distillery, you can expect unique flavors and experiences. Made up of the Mason-Dixon Wine Trail®, Susquehanna Ale Trail®, and Keystone Craft Spirits Trail®, the Good Libations Trails® include over three dozen members across York County and the surrounding area.
