Chickies Rock County Park in Lancaster is situated between the boroughs of Columbia and Marietta and is the county’s second largest regional park. County commissioners began acquiring this property in 1977, and it has since become one of their most prized possessions for residents around Lancaster, Pennsylvania to enjoy. When the American Indians wanted to name this place, they looked at abundance. They found that there were many varieties of crayfish living here, so they called it Chiquesalunga, which means “place or hither-to the crayfish.” With its numerous vistas and varied natural features, Chickies Rock County Park is a beautiful destination for visitors from all over.
