Road Trips

Lancaster County has more than 2,500 miles of winding country roads connecting our small towns and villages with their inviting main streets and charming boutiques and galleries. Lose yourself along these back roads as you're transported to another time, among breathtakingly scenic farmlands, romantic covered bridges and Amish life. Or, use our printer-friendly driving tours - with directions - to lead you through various areas of the county.

Driving tour of Lancaster County's covered bridges: Five different tours each include several bridges; ideas for things to do along the way; and unique towns and villages lined with restaurants, shops, galleries and historic attractions. A great way to stretch your legs during the journey, break for lunch, or create an itinerary to fill your entire day!

Mural trails: Artists have expressed themselves and portrayed the county's history via large colorful murals displayed for all to see on the sides of buildings throughout charming villages and vibrant Downtown Lancaster. Check them out via three mural driving trails!
