After you pick up your camper rental in Christiana, you can drive to Marsh Creek State Park in Downingtown. The 1,727-acre area is one of the most popular in the region. During the winter, the 535-acre lake freezes over, making it an idyllic spot for ice skating. The snow-covered area is a hotspot for cross-country skiing and sledding. In the warmer season, you can discover the most picturesque places of the park using the 18-mile network of hiking trails and the 11.5-mile network of mountain biking trails. Spring and summer are excellent times for wildlife watching too, as there are many species of birdlife to be spotted in the forest, fields, and wetlands which surround Marsh Creek Lake. Susquehannock State Park is one of the highlights of the region, and you will definitely want to visit when you rent an RV in Christiana. Although relatively small, the riverside wooded plateau provides a number of year-round recreational activities. There are opportunities for gentle hiking and horseback riding and even cross-country skiing during the wintertime. Within the park are a series of viewpoints overlooking nearby lakes, reservoirs, and islands. You can take a pair of binoculars and hike to one of the overlooks. Songbirds, hawks, eagles, and many more species can be seen flying about the park. The best place to spot bald eagles is from Hawks Point Overlook from where you can look down onto Mount Johnson Island, known as the world’s first bald eagle sanctuary. For a real adventure, you can take your travel trailer rental in Christiana east on Highway 30 to Michaux State Forest. Within the 85,500-acre area, there are two state parks, Pine Grove Furnace State Park in the northern reaches of the park and Caledonia State Park in the southern region. Both areas provide many opportunities for recreational activities including mountain biking, paddle sports, and snow sports. Hugging the slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering on South Mountain, Michaux State Forest is also a hotspot for hikers. The forest hosts a total of 60 miles of marked hiking trails, not including a 37-mile section of the famous Appalachian Trail. You can also discover pine, hickory, red maple, and many other tree types which are speckled throughout the mixed oak woodland.
