Antietam Lake Hike – 8 or 10 Mile Options
Details
🌄 Main Hike: 8‑Mile Loop
We’ll begin with an 8 mile loop that highlights several of the area’s most scenic and historic spots:
• The Pagoda – A climb up to this Reading landmark with great views.
• Angora Fruit Farm – A peaceful historic site along the trail.
• William Penn Memorial Fire Tower – Another chance for sweeping vistas.
• Bingaman Nature Center – Our loop finishes shortly after visiting this nature and education center, may not be open on a Sunday.
This section features varied terrain, forest paths, and great opportunities for photos
➕ Optional Add‑On: 2‑Mile Reservoir Trail Loop (Total 10 Miles)
For those who want a bit more, we’ll continue onto the Reservoir Trail, which includes:
• A view of the Value House
• Scenic views of Antietam Lake Reservoir
Note: The trail disappears for about 100 yards, requiring some off‑trail travel. Expect light adventure—possibly through water.
