Places to see less than 5 miles away.

There is so much to do within 5 miles.
Over 800 acres of nature reclaimed agricultural fields and historic woodlands. The park was established 1972, two years after this home was built. There's over 5 miles of multi use trails for off road biking, horse back riding, and hiking. Animal activity center including horse show and practice rings, and dog training area. Stocked trout streams run through the park. My favorite thing to do in the park is hunt for black berries and raspberries. They're so plentiful and sweet when ripe.

The Nixon Park Nature Center has something for everyone who likes nature. When my kids were in grade school and was caring for a senior with mobility challenges we made regular visits here. Paved parking, sidewalks, and the air-conditioned nature center made it possible for me to keep up with the kids and my senior companion explored at her own pace, with plenty of spots to rest take in the park from a different view. There’s a working honey bee hive inside the center encased in clear plexy glass so visitors see the bees in action. Stop by the amphibians of PA display, see live reptiles, birds and mammals of PA. These a children's sensory room. The animal exhibits include an Arctic Display, African Savannah, and Northwest Territories of the United States.

Having freshwater streams, lakes and water activities near me made it so much easier to get my kids off their phones and outside during their high school years. To be frank, my husband is the real outdoor enthusiast in our family. I needed the lake, boat rentals, and that cool radio-controlled airplane strip to be practically in my back yard. It was harder to make excuses not to get outdoors and, easier to get outside and relax on the water.

Sightseeing.

Most of these destinations are local to the South-Central, PA region but, some aren't. Please think of the content I add as starting point ideas, take em and run searches on the web and check stuff out from there too. If I had any recommendations it would be experiencing the area's unique cultural, environmental, and regionally inspired aesthetic or spend an evening on the deck with friends, talking the night away.

This Airbnb listing title, The Baltimore Gatehouse of York, was inspired by its close distance, 8 miles, to the MD/PA Stateline, aka The Mason Dixon Line. Take I-83 south to The Inner Harbor and arrive in about 45 minutes off-peak. And since there aren't any traffic lights from the house to the interstate, the first traffic light you come to is in downtown Baltimore, MD. Talk about an easy commute!

旅行者へのアドバイス

交通アクセス

Dark Winding Narrow Markless Roads and Deer.

The roads in the area are narrow and few have a center or shoulder line markings, reflectors or overhead street lamps. You'll want your high beams in working order at night. Deer are large, plentiful and will run in front of your car. Road cyclists are active spring-fall. Motorcycles are everywhere! Watch for Amish Horse-Drawn Carriages, riding scooter bikes, and boards. The markless narrow asphalt roads seem to invite people to drive down the center. That, along with the switchback like curves can cause a head-on collision involving the most prudent driver. I hope you enjoy the easy pace of rural driving. Just be careful!
風習と文化

The location is rural but, it's not the south.

The area is rural but, given its proximity to the DC to New York mega-tropolis, many of the locals are true to the fast-pace urban mindset. There's no need to make an effort to wave at strangers. They'll wonder all day how you know them. Locals may be reluctant to offer help when they see another struggling with a trivial but annoying hassle. I learned to ask for help, and not be shy about it. People here are always willing to lend a helping hand, they just don't want to step on anyone's self-reliant toes. Pennsylvanians are known for their self-reliance, hard work ethic and tight-knit communities.
