Trail Description:
The Dover Branch of the YMCA first proposed the
rail trail in the early 1990's. It would be built along
the right-of-way of the old trolley line that once connected
Dover Borough with York, PA. Current plans call for
the construction of a 1.5 mile trail along a section
of the right-of-way in Dover Township. This section
of the right-of-way is 30 feet wide and runs through
undeveloped farmland between Fox Chase Estates and Pine
View Manor developments. The 8-foot wide trail would
be used primarily by local area residents for walking,
bicycling, and other forms of non-motorized transportation.
