Visitor & Driver Tips

When planning your trip to Millersburg, keep a few practical driving considerations in mind. The borough experiences peak visitor activity during warm summer weekends, particularly when the Millersburg Ferry is running and during borough events such as the Tour de Millersburg bike races or seasonal festivals. Arriving earlier in the day guarantees the most convenient parking space close to the center. While summer and autumn bring pleasant scenic driving conditions along Route 147, winter drivers should watch for typical Pennsylvania freeze-thaw cycles and winter weather advisories.
