The Quittie Creek Nature Park in Annville, PA, originated from concerned citizens advocating for the development of an abandoned limestone quarry and woodland area into a passive recreation park. The park, maintained by the Quittie Creek Nature Park Committee, features a wooden pedestrian bridge connecting it to neighboring communities.
Immersed in history, the park boasts trails showcasing five lime kilns and a water-powered mill once utilized for lime production. It also houses remnants of an old weir dam and pump house, reflecting Annville's industrial past. Visitors can explore a 1.3-mile hiking path along the scenic Quittapahilla Creek.
This local gem offers a tranquil setting for nature enthusiasts, with trails winding past old oak trees, vibrant spring flowers, and a vernal pond teeming with life. The standout Raymond J. Swingholm Pedestrian Bridge provides a unique perspective of the Quittie Creek. Recognized by the Audubon Society, the park is a haven for birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
