Though owned and operated entirely by volunteers of the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail Council nonprofit, the rail trail is a prominent recreational feature of Shippensburg Township, with its western terminus at the Township-Borough line at North Earl and East Fort streets.
The trail crosses our municipality from south to north, linking the center of the town to the Shippensburg Township Park. The trail borders Shippensburg University and Shippensburg Township Park for most of that distance before heading east through Oakville past Newville. The rail trail currently totals more than 12 miles in continuous length, with more under development. There is also a mile-long section of trail complete off Allen Road near Carlisle that ties into the Borough of Carlisle trail system.
