Speedwell Forge Park - A Park of Many Habitats



Speedwell Forge is a Lancaster county park located in Brickerville, PA (Hammer Creek Valley). The area got its name from a park that use to be in operation in the area from 1754 till 1854. The exact area of the forge is not known. The park is made up of many different types of habitats. There is wet meadow, woodlands, and fields. You will see many different varieties of plant types in the park, such as, trillium, orchids, and goldenrod .



Chase and I went there in the beginning of the summer. We followed the hiking trail which took us about two hours. That includes the time we took to stop and look at wildlife.

It would be a great place for photographers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts alike to visit.

It was a nice little hike. Chase and I both enjoyed it. We will visit again in the future. Also in the area is the Brickerville House Restaurant and the The Wolf Sanctury of PA.
