A recent 58-acre land acquisition by the Central Pennsylvania Conservancy will link Lower Paxton Township’s Hocker Park with a more than two-mile nature trail running atop Blue Mountain.
Lower Paxton Supervisors Chairman Lowman Henry said linking the land to Hocker Park underscores the Township’s commitment to providing opportunities for outdoor recreation and preserving natural resources.
“Today, we celebrate the addition of a tremendous asset that will add to the quality of life of our residents and visitors,’’ Henry said. “This land is truly a natural treasure that will be enjoyed for generations.”
