Boyd's is a great place if you want to walk in the woods near to Harrisburg. Laid out on the north side of a mountain, it has a number of trails that are well marked, with a variety of terrains-flat versus hilly. It's dog-friendly, and if you make it to the top of the mountain, there's a nice view of the Susquehanna valley. Other than a bathroom at the trail head, there are no facilities there, so bring water. Also, there are hunters there, so bring something blaze orange if you're there in season.

A lovely network of trails, some with elevation changes, but many easy flat hikes, too. Large paved parking area. Easy access to the trails from the parking lot. Reminds me of the carriage trails at Acadia National Park!

This is my favorite hiking area in the mid-state. Great place to get out in nature. They have a lot of different trails but my favorite is the one that goes to the top of the mountain.

On Blue Mountain are several trails 1-2 miles long, some difficult and not advisable in rainy conditions. Hunters are allowed so you may want to avoid on some days! Huge trees!

If you want a nice walk in the woods, this is the place for you. There are a variety of trails of various lengths and difficulties. It is very well maintained but occasionally you have to go around a downed tree. As mentioned by other reviewers, wear bug spray. I went in shorts and sandals and got a lot of bites. Highly recommended!
