Rothrock State Forest
In Central Pennsylvania, Rothrock State Forest delights with its near-endless ways to play and ample hiking and biking trails. All the while, you’re just out of reach of State College, meaning you can hit the trails and then head into the destination’s downtown for dinner and drinks or, if you’re lucky, maybe even a Penn State football game.
Cook Forest State Park
Cook Forest State Park seriously looks and feels as if it’s a part of another world. With its old-growth forest, you’d think you were in some national park on the West Coast. Convenient camping options are available. You’ll quickly see why this is a favorite.
