Getting down into the valley is easy, with local roads leading directly toward the Stonycreek River corridor. Outdoor recreation is practically in the neighborhood's backyard at Greenhouse Park and the Stonycreek Whitewater Park, where locals spend warm days paddling, tubing, and picnicking along the water. Elim provides newcomers with a comfortable blend of hilltop quiet, scenic riverfront spots, and a quick, simple commute into downtown Johnstown.
