2019 PENNSYLVANIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA Pennsylvania Leafy Pennsylvania boasts vast forests, pretty parks and glinting lakes, along with thousands of miles of rivers and streams. In the fall, Pennsylvania's forests blaze with autumn colors, and winding roads pass through quaint historic towns and numerous covered bridges. The state is also something of a cultural Mecca, with many world-class museums, and a rich mix of cultural and ethnic communities. As well as eye-catching countryside, Pennsylvania is steeped in colorful history. It started out as the ‘Holy Experiment' of Quaker activist William Penn, Jr. Granted a charter by King Charles II to develop a colony in the New World, Penn selected a lush wooded portion of the countryside, where he vowed to welcome anyone who believed in God. Less than a century later, the country's Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution at Independence Hall in Philadelphia - now one of the largest cities in the USA - and the American nation was born. Notable Attractions • Independence National Historical Park • Franklin Institute Science Museum • Philadelphia Museum of Art • Barnes Foundation Museum • Franklin Court (Ben Franklin's home) • Philadelphia Zoo • Doylestown • Dutch Country • Gettysburg National Military Park • Hershey's Chocolate World ...And Much More!

    FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020

    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

    The Keystone State's Cial Boating Magazine

    The Keystone State's cial Boating Magazine • VIEWPOINT BOATING ACCESSES On June 20, 1986, the Fish Commission formally opened a new boat launching area at the site of the old Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia. This opening was the culmination of years of effort to provide a place for residents of southeastern Pennsylvania to launch their boats onto the Delaware River. Declared surplus by the federal government in 1981, the Commission received title to approximately 19 acres of waterfront property. A design for an area that would eventually accommodate 350 car/trailers was developed. Construction was scheduled to be accomplished in phases, and the first two phases were completed this spring. The area currently has room for 190 car/trailers and has three two-lane launch ramps and courtesy boarding docks. Twenty-four-hour security has been provided on the site, although the area is currently closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Reports indicate that this much needed access is receiving the use that was expected and will in future years become a very important part of boating in Philadelphia. While this access and others under construction in Cowanshannock in Armstrong County and Chillisquaque in Northumberland County are meeting some local needs, a recently completed conference of state and federal agencies involved in the development of boat launches and marinas held in Detroit has concluded that good boating facilities are sorely needed in many areas. It is estimated that there are currently about 16,000 public launch sites nationwide. The phenomenal growth in boating recreation, however, will place demand on facilities to quadruple the number of sites currently available by the year 2000.
