With an award winning network of state and national parks, bodies of water, trails and mountains, Pennsylvania has its fair share of good-for-the-lungs fun. Cherry Springs State Park for its exceptionally black–and crazy cool–Dark-Sky Preserve, home of the most amazing stargazing on the East coast, to Pine Creek Gorge our own version of the Grand Canyon. We’ve got it all when it comes to outdoor parks and recreation.

For people who like to move it, PA trails will be your warm-weather friend. There’s hiking, fishing, mountain biking, bird watching and horseback riding in every nook and cranny of the commonwealth. Try an excursion among historic stone bridges and colonial ruins along Wissahickon Creek and grab your gear for the famous and popular Appalachian Trail. For a more western trek, visit the Laurel Highlands Trail in Johnstown for its remarkable natural sandstone, woodland and plant fossils.

For a state that’s mostly inland, water’s quite a theme in PA. You can find boat tours, kayaking and sailing along the shoreline of pristine Lake Erie. If you’re looking for more adventure some of the best whitewater boating around can be found in Ohiopyle State Park–a 14-mile stretch of the Youghiogheny River Gorge. For the fainter of heart (or those with little ones), try family-style tubing at Pocono Whitewater in Jim Thorpe where there are different thrill levels available. Lake Wallenpaupack in Upstate PA offers patio boat tours of the charming lake region and Bushkill Falls–The Niagara of Pennsylvania–guides you through a series of trails and bridges deep in the Pocono Mountains.

Anglers, you’re in luck. Pennsylvania has more than 85,000 miles of streams and rivers, along with 4,000 inland lakes and ponds not including Lake Erie. The Susquehanna River, connected with Chesapeake Lake Bay and Wiconiscon Creek, are home to smallmouth bass, northern pike, pickerel and American shad. In Raystown Lake in the Alleghenies you’ll find plenty of bass and trout or if Sauger is your thing, one of the best places to find them is the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh.

If you’re idea of a water hazard is being surrounded by greens, then you’re in luck. With over 800 courses scattered throughout Pennsylvania’s rolling hills and beautiful landscape there’s no wonder it’s a perfect area for a round of Golf. From America’s oldest continuously used course, Foxburg County Club to the many public courses available, you can’t go wrong on our fairways.  

With two big cities on either end, Pennsylvania is just loaded in between with big sky country, crystal clear fishing holes and plenty of greens to play a round. So come find your little piece of the open air…and go a little wild.

 

  • Hiking, Camping, Swimming

    Hiking, Camping, Swimming
    Submitted By: Sasha
    Friends and I went camping at Locust Lake State Park for a three day weekend. Great hiking (beautiful nature trails and one steep hill for the brave), swimming and clean facilities. Beautiful views of the lake, especially at sunset. I was there with friends, but it was clearly a family location. Tons of playgrounds.

    PA Colors
    Submitted By: Scott Stubler
    On one of my wife's first trips to the Bucks County area where I'm from, she commented on how vivid the flower colors were in people's gardens. She's a native Houstonian and I relocated there 20+ years ago. I told her that was nothing, and we'd come back in September when the leaves were turning colors. We returned later that year and she was blown away, the explosion of reds, greens, oranges, etc...were phenominal.

  • Our Auto-Trip in PA

    Our Auto-Trip in PA
    Submitted By: Kristy Rothenberger
    My husband and I love small towns, so we took the Small Town Charmy roadtrip and visited Jim Thorpe and Ricketts Glen. We decided to go hiking at Ricketts Glen to see the waterfalls and then to Jim Thorpe where we stayed at the Inn. The staff was really nice and suggested places not to miss in town. For dinner we went to Flow and had an amazing meal. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very cool. We definitely recommend this trip for an active and romantic weekend getaway!

  • Adventures in the PA Grand Canyon

    Adventures in the PA Grand Canyon
    Submitted By: Cycleman
    Views, water, fun. At your beck and call in the PA Grand Canyon. Began by kayaking Pine Gorge. Be sure to check the water levels before your adventure! Couldn't believe our eyes, not even a mile in we saw an eagles nest. Not much further we saw a bear crossing the river, keep your eyes open out there. Camped in Tiadaghton along Pine Gorge. Not into kayaking? Try the bike trail along Pine Gorge-same beautiful scenery, different perspective.
