My daughter is going to a camp at Penn St this summer and it looks like I might be flying solo for a week. Anyone have recommendations on a place to set up for a week?

I'd love something more isolated and out in nature, maybe some fly fishing or hiking, but it wouldn't be bad to have some civilization nearby too for a good dinner in town. But mostly looking at this time alone as a mental retreat with scenery and nature as opposed to going to a big town/city.

Any recommendations?

You won't find a big city in Central PA...
Hit up the Creamery while dropping your daughter off.

There are a lot of great state parks and game lands that are a short drive. My husband likes Moshannon Lake and Creek for fly fishing. And Susquehannock State Forest.

If you happen to be a Martin Guitar fan you can tour their manufacturing in Nazareth PA - super awesome tour! Can hit up Hersey after.

If you want to Fly Fish, Go See Dennis at

Flyfisher's Paradise
2603 East College Avenue
State College, PA 16801

If you want to fly Fish in the area, he will let you know where things are running and what to use.

Hiking
- Mt Nittany is right there in State College and has lots of hiking options.
- Kyler Fork Falls and Yost Run Falls are close to each other and about an hour away.
- Bald Eagle State Forest nearby has some great views
- Poconos are about 2 hours away, hiking, alpine slides, resorts


History
- Gettysburg is 2 hours away, if you have not been Lots of history here and surrounding towns.
- Coal Mine Tours/Centrailia - Coal Mine Tours can be interesting. Centrailia is the town where the coal fire still burns underneath the town. ghost town now, government made everyone leave.
- The childhood home of ColoradoMooseHerd, can be found in Bloomsburg, PA. 1224 Maple St, Bloomsburg, PA. I am sure the current owners would love for you to stop in and say you want to visit the house.

Thank you both for the recommendations! The Martin Guitar factory tour sounds awesome, I own a Martin although I don't play as much anymore.

Gettysburg would be amazing to see as well, I might have to make that trip.
