Fishing Creek North Nature Preserve

Lancaster County Conservancy Nature Preserve

167 acres of mature forest in Drumore Township features the Fishing Creek stream corridor, a DEP-designated high-quality cold water fishery with one of the only remaining natural wild trout populations in Lancaster County. Two trails and a dirt road run through the preserve making for wonderful nature walks.

This interesting site has an uninterrupted lush forest canopy, wildflowers and a unique history. An Underground Railroad station was located on a nearby farm, along with the ruins of an African American schoolhouse. Several mills were believed to be located along Fishing Creek, including Long’s sickle and scythe mills, which produced noteworthy tools in the early 1800s. The preserve is managed by the Lancaster County Conservancy.

Fishing is permitted in Fishing Creek. Archery hunting is permitted within the preserve. All PA Game Commission rules and regulations apply.
