November - Great news! The Judith A. Sponaugle Charitable Trust has provided the Friends of the Conodoguinet Greenway with the funding for two sign kiosks in memory of Richard W. and Ann A. Sponaugle. The signs will be placed on the ends of the new Blackberry Run Trail that connects Siebert Park in Camp Hill with the Conodoguinet Creek. The kiosks will provide information about the trail, the Conodoguinet Greenway, and more.
About
The Vision
The vision for the Conodoguinet Greenway is a continuous recreational path, connecting communities along the Conodoguinet Creek from the Susquehanna River to Carlisle and beyond. The path will follow quiet roads and off-road multi-use trails. The Conodoguinet Greenway will be a natural and scenic resource that enhances the health and quality of life for local residents.
Friends of the Conodoguinet Greenway (FoCG) was formed in 2016 by local citizen volunteers to advocate for a multi-use trail along the Conodoguinet Creek, a 104-mile-long tributary of the Susquehanna River in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The name is Native American and means "A Long Way with Many Bends".
There are numerous parks along the Conodoguinet, but limited connections between these parks. The proposed paths will serve people of all ages, and will offer a safe, scenic and accessible route for biking, walking, jogging, dog-walking, and other recreation. The Greenway will connect neighborhoods with nearby parks previously accessible only by car, thus creating walkable and bikeable communities. Imagine being able to hop on your bike (instead of piling into the car) to visit a friend who lives just a few miles away.
The 15-mile portion of the Greenway covered in the Feasibility Study will be the starting point for a regional greenway network that will eventually extend westwards along the natural corridor of the Conodoguinet Creek, through Carlisle and further towards the creekâs source in Franklin County.
