The Lebanon Valley Rails-Trail was created from two local railroads, The Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad and the Cornwall Railroad. Featuring 20+ miles of mixed-use trail, the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail is a great place to run, bike, hike, and ride your way through picturesque Lebanon County, Pennsylvania with your family.

With 10 trailheads there are plenty of places to jump on and off the trail. The most northern trailhead is located in Jonestown, while the southern-most trailhead is the Eckert Road Trailhead.

The Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad built by Robert H. Coleman during the late 1890s traveled from Lebanon, Pa. south to Cornwall then southwest towards the Conewago Station in Lancaster County.

The Cornwall Railroad built by William Coleman Freeman ran parallel to the Cornwall & Lebanon Railroad to Cornwall where it then headed south to the Cornwall Iron Ore Mines and then onward to the Lancaster Area.

Both railroads were built to support the Cornwall Iron Ore Mines and transported iron ore and other by-products to the various iron furnaces and process mills.
