Discover Leacock-Leola-Bareville

Water fun in several pools, trails through parks and a long stretch of the Conestoga River Water Trail give Leola different sides. There is also a quilt tour and the Leola Produce Auction, which is associated with the sale of local produce and plants. This gives you a choice of activities for your stay, from time on the water and outdoors to insights into local agriculture.

Enjoy the water—in the pool or on the river

Leola Community Pool & Park features three pools with different designs. Three slides make for an active swimming experience in the large leisure pool. Young children can enjoy a zero-entry pool with water features. There is also a 25-meter competition pool with eight lanes. Each pool offers a different focus for your visit: slides, water play or laps in the competition pool. If members of your family have different interests in the water, this variety is a practical consideration for planning your day.

If you’d rather be out on the water, the Conestoga River Water Trail has an access point on Stone Quarry Rd. in Leola, Pennsylvania 17540. The official 33-mile stretch from Brownstown to Safe Harbor offers mostly Class I paddling. It is accessible to both beginners and experienced paddlers. The length of the stretch is an important reference point when planning your paddling trip; it describes the route between Brownstown and Safe Harbor, not a walking or driving time. The pool and the river offer two very different ways to include water in your stay.

Parks and trails for time outdoors

Leola Community Park is at 23 E. Main St. in Leola. It has a trail for exercise, walking and biking, as well as a small disc golf course. You can enjoy different kinds of activity here: walk, ride your bike on the trail or plan a round of disc golf. These are independent reasons to consider visiting the park; they do not imply a specific route between the activities.

Berry Patch Park is another small outdoor space. It has a playground for children under five. Cobbler Courts also has a short walking trail. These places complement the larger water and trail offerings with manageable outdoor options. For families, the playground’s explicit age guidance for children under five is a practical reference. The walking trail at Cobbler Courts, meanwhile, may appeal to visitors looking to add a short walk to their plans.

Discover local agriculture and quilts

The Leola Produce Auction began in 1985 as a marketing tool for local farmers, who could sell their produce and plants there. It is known for a large selection of freshly grown fruit, vegetables and plants. This connects the venue with agricultural products, not just recreational activities. Those interested in regional agriculture will find a different perspective here than at waterways, swimming pools or parks. The year 1985 refers to the auction’s beginnings as a marketing tool.

Another special experience is Off the Beaten Path Amish Country Quilt Tours, a visitor-oriented quilt tour experience on Greenfield Drive in Leola, Pennsylvania. Together with the Produce Auction, the tour adds themes that differ from sports and exercise: quilts on the one hand, agricultural produce and plants on the other. If you’re considering different interests for your family, these offerings may help you decide which discoveries to make the focus of your stay.
