Biking the NW Lancaster County River Trail - Columbia, Pennsylvania (GoPro HERO9)

I used the GoPro HERO 9 Black's TimeWarp 3.0 feature to capture a recent bike ride on the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail. This is a ~14 mile trail that runs from Columbia, PA to Falmouth, PA. There are a couple of spots that require you to ride on gravel / quiet town streets - other than that, the vast majority of the trail is paved.
I started my ride at the Columbia Crossing River Trails Center. I went on a Friday, and there were plenty of parking spots to choose from. The trail winds along the Susquehanna River and there is a variety of scenery along the way, including: dams, railroad bridges, small towns, gardens, and rock formations. I brought food along with me, but if you are hungry / want to grab a drink the town of Marietta (just north of Columbia) has several options right off the trail (w/ bike racks).
Out & back this trail comes out to ~28 miles total.

My fav trail to ride every weekend, of course it doesn't hurt that I'm only 12 mins away. Had to slow the video down though.

They're saying they are doing work on the trail in Marietta. Is the trail currently open from Columbia to Marietta?

How many miles is this trail, where does it start and end?

The trail end-to-end is 14 miles; however, if you are doing the whole thing as an out-and-back ride it comes out to 28 miles. The trail starts in Falmouth and ends in Columbia.

@cjones5vt thank you. I'll only have time to do the 14 miles. Where would I start then if I want to end in Columbia?

Will you be driving yourself? Or will someone pick you up? If you start in Falmouth it is about 14 miles to Columbia (I.e. the whole trail). To do that though, you’d need someone to drop you off in Falmouth and then pick you up in Columbia. If you are driving yourself, you will just have to park in Columbia and ride 7 miles out on the trail and then 7 miles back to Columbia. 7 miles out from Columbia gets you to about where East Donegal Township Riverfront Park is.

@cjones5vt I would most likely drive myself. I plan on biking so I can probably make it round trip. I'm guessing Falmouth to Columbia is downhill? Or is most of the trail flat

Yes, you are correct. Falmouth to Columbia is slightly downhill - only a few hundred feet of elevation change over the length of the trail so it is effectively flat. Falmouth to Columbia and back (or vice versa) will come out to ~28 miles total.
