Children's Lake in Boiling Springs is one of the best places to go when the weather starts to warm up. Enjoy a leisurely stroll around the lake or a picnic lunch with a beautiful backdrop. Just across the street from the lake is Caffe 101 where you can grab a quick lunch to enjoy an afternoon in this charming town.

For those looking to get a little more adventurous, spring is a great time to get out on the Appalachian Trail. There are various access points and parking spots throughout the Valley to make day hiking this famed trail easily accessible.

After a long winter of being stuck indoors, plan for a fun family day out at Roundtop Mountain Resort. Once the snow melts away, Roundtop gets out the zip lines, ropes courses, bumper boats and more for continued outdoor fun.

Another great spot to enjoy this spring is the 11-mile Cumberland Valley Rail Trail. Connecting Shippensburg and Newville, this trail follows an abandoned railroad track for easy hiking, biking and horseback riding.
