adventure is calling
If your looking for optimum conditions for outdoor fun and unbeatable locations for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. Pennsylvania’s Americana Region delivers the basics and more. Dayhike on the Appalachian Trail or trek to the lookouts of Hawk Mountain Sanctuary – one of the best places in North America to watch the annual fall raptor migration. If you’re traveling with your dog, the trails at Blue Marsh, Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, and Nolde Forest are pet friendly. Cyclists, take a spin on our internationally ranked mountain biking trails or enjoy the scenery our picturesque country roads offer. Keep an eye out for the covered bridges and colorful hex signs you’re bound to see on your travels. Weather permitting, canoe, kayak, and fish to your heart’s content on local waterways. Try disc golf and geocaching at French Creek State Park, or kick back and watch the wildlife. When the day is done, keep the adventure going and sleep under the stars (or in a cabin) at a local park or campground.
