It has also been seemingly under-appreciated and abused by locals. I am trusting that the Outbound Collective community will do its part to e...

      First, a few disclaimers: The parking lot may be "at capacity" if you choose to visit the park in the summer.

I didn't need anything majestic--just some space. Codorus, centrally located in the picturesque hills of York County, PA, seemed to fit the...
