Twin Falls



In my opinion, Twin Falls is the most exciting of all the places I've mentioned. Twin Falls is a naturally formed set of waterfalls in Greene township, in Clinton County. The largest of the two is about 30 feet high. Below I have included the directions. The pictures pretty much tell it all on this one!

Directions:
Take Route 220 west until you reach the four-way intersection at the fairgrounds. Take a left onto Fairground Road, and when you reach the intersection at Hackenburg's General Store, take a right onto Long Run Road. Drive about five miles and turn left onto Brungard Road. Drive a mile to a 'T' in the road. Take a right, and continue and veer right at the intersection onto Nittany Ridge Road. Near the intersection, there will be two gates. Park and walk down the gated road to the left. Follow the road past a camp and you will arrive at Twin Falls.

Bald Eagle State Park










Bald Eagle State Park offers something for almost everyone. It is located only 20 minutes from campus and is open year round. The 5,900 acre park offers plenty of the following activities:
  • hunting
  • fishing
  • hiking
  • swimming
  • cross country skiing
  • sledding
  • boating
  • picnicking
  • ice fishing
  • ice skating
  • wildlife watching
Of course these are the typical things everyone not from around here thinks us locals alwaysss do but still...it's fun and worthy of the time it takes to check it out. The park also offers some great views and a "beach" for those of you stuck in Lock Haven for the summer!

The website for the park is below and it has the address so you can use mapquest for directions. http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/baldeagle.aspx#recreation

Hope you enjoy!
