Cycle Amish Country Bike Tour

Glide through an era that you thought had disappeared. How can you go wrong when you are visiting villages called Bird in Hand, Mount Joy, and Paradise? One of the great aspects of this region is the multitude of friendly roads, both in traffic flow and gradient. This lets us bike in and out of all lodging, and for you to modify a day’s ride to be exactly what you are looking for in your vacation.

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is home to more than 200 properties and districts that are registered in the National Registry of Historic Places. Get up close and personal with tobacco sheds, horse-drawn carriages and plows, plus all the tasty treats of times gone by: Whoopie pies, homemade ice cream, fresh pretzels and shoefly pie!

Day 1: Start riding in Manheim Township to Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area. Once in Lititz, expect to find shoofly pie, dried corn, rolling farmland, horse-drawn plows and tobacco sheds galore.

Day 2: Spend the day amid the thriving Amish community as you visit the Ephrata Cloister, Mascot Roller Mills and Ressler Family Home. A cool 32 miles brings you to the Fulton Steamboat Inn.

Day 3: On your way to Intercourse, PA stop in and pay a visit to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Take a rest in an Amish orchard before hitting the road for the Inn & Spa at Intercourse.

Day 4: Once you’ve eaten enough Intercourse pretzels, depart for Lititz, passing through the Lapp Family Farm and ample opportunity for a scoop or two of ice cream. Pick up some fresh produce as you complete your final miles.
