Motts Run Reservoir

It’s the perfect spot for a local adventure the whole family can enjoy!

Motts Run Reservoir is an 860-acre natural area with approximately 12 miles of hiking and biking trails. There are trails for all skill levels.

There is plenty of parking available in the bottom lot throughout the week and facilities if you need them near the nature center. When the gate is closed, you can park in the upper lot but be mindful because there are limited parking spots.

If you have little hikers, mountain bikers or first-time fishers, this is the great place to go where they can explore, get dirty and enjoy every minute of being outdoors. Our little ones certainly do!
