The Arboretum at Penn State

Reviewed By Trip270430

Considering 200,000 people are within 1/2 mile of this location during every home Penn State football game & you can stop there & feel like you have the place to yourself is awesome & truly overlooked by many. We stayed the weekend at goPSUrv & visited The Arboretum on a Sunday morning.

Allegheny River Trail

Reviewed By Gvis2020traveler - Middlefield, United States

We travel all over the country biking on rail to trails. This one is the best. It blows Utah and Colorado away! Tunnels, bridges, eagles, deer, and tons of other wildlife abound. The history of the area is a bonus. Only downside: Middle-aged (like me) guys dressed in Lance Armstrong costumes who think they are on the Tour de France. These losers travel in packs, at high speeds, and yell, grunt, and complain if you don't stop and let them by. We bid a lot, and this is the only place we've run into this. It's not a wide path, but these glory day reenactors think they own that. Nevertheless, even with these losers, the path is still the best I've encountered. We've been on it at least 5 times this year, and we have to drive 2 hours to get there.

I stopped here today and was very pleased. I loved seeing all his stuff. Mr. Rogers was a great man and I’m so happy to see his legacy will live on. Please stop if you’re passing through the area. You will enjoy it. The whole building is really nice. :)

Saint Vincent College

Reviewed By fjmccarl - San Antonio, United States

This is a beautiful campus with a rich history of religion and the region. The College is amazing with notable graduates from its traditional arts and sciences background. The Benedictines have let their mark literally, since they built much of the college by hand. In a tranquil setting to appreciate God's beauty.

Twin Lakes Park

Reviewed By georgew419 - Upper Saint Clair, United States

This is a great park, I wish we lived closer. Two lakes with walking trails around each (0.9 miles and 1.5 miles). Very clean! Paths are bricked with a few different types of brick. Running on these may be a bit tough due to the uneveness. You would have to pay attention to your footing.

Other activites are biking the Great Allegheny Passage, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, picnicking, horsebacking riding, rock climbing, and hiking.

Reviewed By Alwaysbikin

Excellent place to rent bikes and take in the beautiful scenery~ the guided white water rafting trips are really fun for a group or a couple! There are hiking trails and places to hang near the water to cool off as well! It’s definitely a yearly fall visit for us!
