Geocache Description:


New Adventures To Unearth Regions Around Lower Lancaster and York


Please see Trail Log for additional information.


McCall's Ferry connected southern Lancaster and York counties. The Lancaster landing was roughly north of Kelly's Run. The York landing was roughly where McCall's Ferry Road intersects River Road today. For a while, there was also a bridge further up river just south of what is now Pinnacle Overlook on the Lancaster side and roughly where Oakland Run enters the Susquehanna on the York side. The York land extended further into what is now the water before the Holtwood Dam was built. The lake near that part of the York shore remains somewhat shallow today.
