Conodoguinet Creek off East Penn Drive



Sometimes you just want to get out of the house for an hour! That was our goal recently when we stopped by this area of the creek to let the kids throw rocks and look for crayfish. This section of the creek is flat, rocky and shallow and offers lots of space to explore. The rocks can be a little slippery sometimes so make sure the kids where shoes. All you need for this activity are some towels to dry them off when they are done! There is even a picnic table where you can have a snack or sit to watch the kids while they play.
From 21st Street in Camp Hill, go left on Center Street/East Penn Drive, make the first right before you cross the bridge onto Creek Road. Go under the bridge and park at the second area where there is a blue PARK sign. This is part of Seibert Park and if you want to explore some more, you can walk to the left of the fenced in power equipment on a path that will take you into the woods, over a little stream and eventually up to the playground and pool. Email me if you have any questions!

Max let me push him really high in this swing. I think he felt safe b/c the back is so high.

It's made of real wood so it must be older but was in great shape.
