Chickies Ridge, Mountain viewpoint in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States.
Chickies Ridge extends through West Hempfield Township, terminating at a quartzite rock outcropping that rises 100 feet above the Susquehanna River.
During the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign, Union forces utilized Chickies Rock as an observation post to monitor Confederate movements across the Susquehanna River.
The name originates from the Lenape word Chiquesalunga, referring to an area where Native Americans found abundant crayfish populations.
Visitors can access the summit via the Chickies Rock Overlook Trail, which follows the path of a former trolley line from the Furnace Road parking area.
The location contains Bradley's spleenwort, one of the rarest fern species found in the eastern United States, growing among its rock formations.
