Adams County Seeks State Park On Conewago Creek
Adams County officials filed a seven page petition in Harrisburg under the Project 70 Act requesting a 2781 acre state regional park along Conewago Creek spanning Strachan and Tyrone Townships. The plan envisions a dam north west of New Chester and cites historical sites such as the Studebaker farm Great Conewago Church and Hunterstown. The group notes nearby parks are distant and county lacks camping boating and golf facilities, forecasting flood control and enhanced recreation for residents and two million annual visitors.
