Very distinctive decorating! The college kids have worked very hard on this project with much help from others in the community. Very neat to check out if you are in the area. I always see people stopping to take pictures of it.

Just 5 mins from the Holiday Inn Express on the Conneaut Lake Rd is a 7 mile nature trail. Great paths for run,walks and sitting. Be mindful that there are lots of mosquitos out as there is still water along quite a bit of the trail so make sure to take your repellant

Voodoo Brewery, is a funky, and progressive brewery in downtown Meadville, and one of the better stops on the Lake Erie Ale Trail. From the moment you come in the door, you are greeted with the sounds of laughter, and conversation from the customers...the decor is eclectic, with doors from a near by New York Spiritualist community hanging from the ceiling. The tables are just as unique, with some re- purposed doors from stores and barns in the area. The listing of their beers are very descriptive and they change often, so try a flight and settle on one or two...but, be warned their beers are pretty strong, so have a designated driver on hand. The menu is constantly changing and the food is good, and they are able to handle gluten free. Well worth your stopping into, and falling under its spell.

Playground for the little kids. Fishing for the older ones. Grills and picnic tables. Everyone hikes the dam. There's other trails as well if you take the trail going west (right) at the end of the dam you can circle down to the park under the spillway and hike back up to the parking lot.
There's also a nine "hole" disc golf course I'm itching to try. If you have the equipment you can canoe, kayak or pasteboard the usually calm lake. If you want a beach, head over to the campground and you can swim for a nominal fee.
There are two interpretive trails across the street from the dam parking lot.

AvalancheXpress snow tubing resort is the tri-state areas longest, fastest snow tubing facility located in Meadville,Pa. 1 mile west of I-79. Facilities include a club house with large fireplace, bar with big screen TV's, The Xpress lodge where you can warm up by the wood burner, get a bite to eat at the snack bar or just grab a cup of hot chocolate or cappuccino! Season runs Dec. 26-Mid March.
Avalanche Xpress provides some quality entertainment without traveling to a major mountain resort. It is built on a golf course. This review is based solely on Avalanche Xpress snow tubing as I have not participated in golf at this location.
Advantages:
*Good for children and adults (ages 3+)
*Snack Bar with food and warm beverages
*Cable up the hill
Disadvantages:
*Long Lines
*Much walking involved between parking area, ticket purchasing area and snack bar.
*Must drag feet at bottom to slow down so not to hit red bags to stop you or go into pond. I have ruined shoes this way.
Prices are pretty comparable to the large mountain resorts. The staff during my last visit was much friendlier than during a previous visit.
Bottom Line: Avalanche Xpress is a fun place to visit close to home and for younger people. For the full thrill of snow tubing, visit a mountain resort that does not have a pond at the bottom of the tubing area.

This antebellum mansion is more than a local treasure.....it has ties to national history too! The director is knowledgeable, engaging, friendly and happy to answer questions. I look forward to a return visit!
The home could use some care, but from what we understand the expense is beyond the budget of the historical society. Bill Gates, where are you?!

If you are traveling by anyway, stop at Giant Eagle and park in their lot..you will have a view as you sit at the light to turn onto 322. It is very creative and makes people smile, unless you are a grumpy person and have an overall negative attitude. Then skip it.
