Peaceful small town on the Susquehanna River

Rural Scenic Riverside Peaceful Quaint Historic

Founded in 1739, Hellam Township is rich in historic buildings and landscapes. Hellam is also teeming with lush natural beauty, which contributes to the town’s overall peaceful atmosphere. The winding Susquehanna River forms the town’s northern and eastern borders, providing plenty of opportunities for water-based recreation close to home.

Hellam residents flock to venues like Rocky Ridge Park, Samuel S. Lewis State Park, Chickies Rock County Park, and Springettsbury Park to engage in an array of outdoor activities. The Haines Shoe House, originally built as an advertising gimmick, is a former shoe shop turned museum and one of Hellam’s top historic attractions.

While most residents are drawn to Hellam for its slower-paced lifestyle, larger cities such as York, Lancaster, and Harrisburg are just a short drive away. Getting around from Hellam is simple with quick access to U.S. 30.
