The Paxtang Parkway is one of the forested legs of the Greenbelt. The 1.2-mile Paxtang Parkway parallels the Parkway Creek through a long-preserved wooded valley. The trail was once a scenic vehicle route when it was built in the early 1900s, but today this segment is an off-road transportation link that is reserved exclusively for use by pedestrians and cyclists.
The trail is a 24-mile loop through and around Harrisburg. It passes along the Susquehanna River through Riverfront Park, through wooded areas, urban offices, residential areas, and scenic parks, including Reservoir Park and Wildwood Park. A majority of the trail is on dedicated paths with parts on local roads. The trail is a mixture of paved, gravel, and crushed stone. In Paxtang Parkway area, the organization of SAMBA (Susquehanna Area Mountain Bike Association) maintains mountain bike trails on both sides of the paved Greenbelt trail.
