I'm going to show you two of them here Lake Redmond and there's also another one Lake Marburg which is part of Codora State Park. Also the Codora State Park has a campground so you can camp there and they have a swimming pool which is huge and beautiful. You got to check out the lake systems in York Pennsylvania. Again they're just one of a kind. Another event in York is the York Fair. It's held in July this year. It used to be in September but they're going to try and do it in July over the summer but it's a great fair. So much great food, rides, entertainment. You just you're here in that time of year July you got to stop by and definitely go to the York Fair. It's one event I don't miss. Here you can see one of the events in York which is the Street Rod Nationals. Again that's held the first weekend of June usually but you can see there's thousands of street rods that come to York Pennsylvania every year. It's a sight to see. I have a full video out there. I'll put a link to it in the description but if you're in York in June don't miss this event. You won't regret it. All right definitely on the list when you come to York Pennsylvania. You have to catch a minor league baseball game at People's Bank Park. You can see this entrance to the ballpark is beautiful. Attendance a little low today because of the rain chances. Not sure they're even getting this game in. Plus it's a day game instead of a night game. Behind the scenes, scorekeeper old-fashioned way just like it was meant to be. They have a great little park out here for the kids too to play in. This park is just beautiful. I'm out in the kiddie area. Every seat in this park like I said is a hit and you can see the game from just about anywhere. One thing that is great in York is their farmers markets. There's so many of them. Usually one is open each day of the week between the different markets. You're going to see here Central Market and Eastern Market but all the markets are awesome. Great food, vegetables all year long. Some other markets you could try is Morningstar which is still in York County outside of York. There's a Penn Market which is downtown York. There's also a Columbia Market which is just over the Susquehanna Bridge. Again great markets. Be sure to check them out if you're in York and they happen to be open the day you're visiting. Okay if you're a golfer you have to come to York, Pennsylvania. There's nine courses alone in York, Pennsylvania and there are 21 golf courses within 20 miles of York. It's a great place for golfers to find a hotel room. Hit as many courses as you can in a weekend or a week but the courses are fantastic. The rates are reasonable. I've played most of these courses and they are great and that's one thing in my opinion that York is known for is their golf courses. Okay York, Pennsylvania is the self-proclaimed factory tour capital of America. There are so many tours you can do in York, Pennsylvania. Most of them are free. Here you can see in this video I'm showing you the Utz Potato Chip Factory. Most of them don't allow to take videos so that's the only one I could get but on other tours that are great to do are the Harley Davidson. Watch the motorcycles be built, tested. It's an amazing tour. I've done that one many times. Snyder's of Hanover, Martin's Potato Chips I hear is a great tour also. I haven't done that one yet. There's a stringed instrument tour by the Bluet Brothers Violins so if you're into stringed instruments watching them put violins together and assembling them is a great tour. Most of the tours are free. Some of them do require reservations. Some are just self-guided tours but there is a lot of tours in York and when you're in York, Pennsylvania make sure you check them all out. Another great and fun activity to do outside is visit the park system in York. In this part of the video you're going to see Sam Lewis Park which overlooks the Susquehanna River. It's absolutely stunning. It's a great place to go and fly kites. I know a lot of people that go up there and fly their kites but it's just a beautiful overlook. All right this really is one of the hidden gems of York, Pennsylvania. It's Richard Nixon Park and it's absolutely beautiful. The trail system here is amazing. I come down here hiking a lot. I'm going to try and keep quiet here. You'll hear some of the birds and the streams. It's just fantastic here. One thing they really have cool here at Nixon Park is they have a nature center. It's got all kinds of animals in there. I'm going to try and go inside and get some pictures for you. Okay this one could be considered under the tour category but for one reason and one reason only this one's made the list. Perry Dell Farms in York, Pennsylvania is an amazing location. You can walk through the farm and see the milking process but the best thing is when you walk inside and you walk back in the refrigerated section and you grab a chocolate milk. I am a chocolate milk connoisseur and I can honestly tell you this is the best chocolate milk you will ever taste or have. The only way I can describe it is like a chocolate milkshake. It's thicker than most chocolate milks you'll have but it is absolutely amazing and if you're in York you cannot miss trying this chocolate milk but also make sure you're walking through the farm and the market there too. They have a lot of good baked items and it's a pretty exciting place for sure. So another great activity in York is the York Rail Trail System. It's part of the Heritage Rail Trail County Park. It's 176 acres. The rail trail extends 21 miles long. It goes from the Mason-Dixon line right up into the center of York, Pennsylvania. It's a great ride. Flat. Anybody can do it. It's kind of like a crushed gravel in some places. There is some paved along the way but it is a beautiful ride. Definitely don't miss this tunnel you'll see in this part of the video. It's a great experience. The York Rail Trail is great for biking, hiking, walking, taking your pet animal, taking them for a walk. It's a great stroll. Again it's mainly flat and it's beautiful. Another fun thing to do when you're in York is visit the York Barbell Hall of Fame. You can buy weights here. York Barbell is worldwide known for their weights. You can't go to any state without seeing York Barbells and they're made right here in York, Pennsylvania. Besides York Barbell there's many other museums you can visit such as the Colonial Complex. You got the Firehouse Museum in York County. There's many different museums but York Barbell is one of the highlights in my opinion. We happened to be there one day and they had a weightlifting competition as you can see from the end of this part of the video. But it's a lot of exciting things to do at York Barbell. Take a tour. Learn about the history of weightlifting and enjoy your day. Okay this is a bonus activity. Hollywood Casino which opens in August of 2021 is going to be a hit in York. If you like to gamble, go to casinos. You got to check this one out. Obviously I can't go into it right now but it will be a staple in York, Pennsylvania.
