7. Enjoy the fresh air at the Holtwood Environmental Preserve
Nature lovers should visit the Holtwood Environmental Preserve, home to the Shenk’s Ferry Wildflower Preserve of spring woodland flowers as well as endless opportunities for camping, boating, swimming, hunting and more. Active travelers can stay busy on 39 miles of hiking trails in the area or explore the Lock 12 Historic Area or the Indian Steps Museum of Native American artifacts. The Holtwood Environmental Preserve is also popular for bird-watching, especially in early spring when bald eagles and ospreys nest in the area.
8. Shop Lancaster Central Market
Originally founded in 1730, Lancaster Central Market is the oldest continually running farmers market in the U.S. This market features more than 60 vendors who sell their goods − from home décor and crafts to meats and cheeses − three days a week, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Previous patrons note that the market can get crowded, but is still worth a visit to enjoy the delicious foods.
