Spending a weekend at Kingdom Come State Park is full of fun, relaxation, breathtaking views, heart stopping uphill and downhill drives, family fun, hiking, and/or an escape from the real world. Being on top of the world and look down on the valley. I loved watching the fog between the valley each day. As it burns off, it revels the […]
Carter Cave State Resort Park has been one of my best experiences of 2020. Even just driving in, the park is so wonderful with a little creek running next to road with places to park and have a picnic or take a hike. But your first stop needs to be at the Welcome Center. The Welcome Center has maps for […]
Christmas Rock Nature Preserve is a wonderful little place to take a hike but finding the trailhead is a bit more interesting then most. The drive to the trail is on city streets but they are a bit rough and narrow in places. The parking area is down the hill and about the first 1/4 mile is actually walking up […]
Buckeye Lake State Park is just massive. The Park has several different areas that you have to drive to but they are between different towns and I kept turning the wrong way. Therefore, it was just frustrating for me as I keep missing the turn. But the Buckeye Lake State Park is a fisherman’s and boaters paradise. The lake has […]
The Big Spring State Park has been used as a rest area since the early 1900’s. It was developed in 1936. As I walked around the park, all I could think was that this would be the perfect place to have a Wedding during the Covid19 time frame. It has this great big shelter which using every other table could […]
Located up the mountain from Raymond B. Winter State Park, the area is wonderful and relaxing. I loved this park and just breathed in the smell of the area brings in a calm relaxing feeling of complete joy. There are a few little trails that run through the park that are great to explore but this camp area is wonderful. […]
Just down the street from Raymond B. Winter State Park, I had lunch at Sand Bridge State Park. It only has about 4 to 6 spots to park. But I loved it here. It had the wonderful Rapid Run!!! With a bridge that took you over it to a picnic areas. Up a little trail to the second picnic area. […]
As I drove into the park, my eyes feasted on the beauty of it. The tall streets, the picnic areas, rock walls, and so much more. Before you even get out of the car, you have these great views of the lake and picnic areas. Plus Rocky Walls as you enter the park. Two of the parking areas are across […]

The Lick Hollow Picnic Area is located just off Route 40 highway on your way up to Summit Inn, Laurel Cavern, and Jumonville Glen which are within a few minutes. Plus Fort Necessity, Mount Washington Tavern, and Braddock Grave which are within a few miles. This is […]

The Memorial Lake State Park was established in 1945 to remember those Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers […]
