Wonderful and peaceful. I loved the boardwalks. Cardinals, blue jays, hawks, different waterfowl, and deer were among the wildlife we saw.

Mount Nittany

We were visiting the town and wanted a less than 2 hour hike. We had kids from age 4 to 10, and did the shorter steeper ascent and descent. It was really fun for the kids and the adults. The views are lovely, go early otherwise it is crowded. There are also longer hikes, which we hope to explore next time.
