Perry County has 14 Covered Bridges. It takes about 2 hours and 13 minutes to see all of them. That is if you don’t get lost like I always do. It took me so much longer but it was enjoyable except finding Fleisher’s Bridge. I kept going past it and my GPS keep sending me in circles but it is […]
Shikellamy State Park has two different parts to it. The best of both worlds river and mountain views. The bottom part has access to the river, boat rentals, and a hike next to the shoreline.

Most of the counties in Pennsylvania have covered bridges and it is a great way to visit the country side while getting out of the house.
