The Great Outdoors

Those who enjoy learning about local folklore can explore the landscape of Money Rocks County Park near Narvon, Pennsylvania. The highlight of the park is the exposed boulders within the center of the park. Legend has it that the locals once used this bizarre rock formation as a hiding spot for cash, thus creating the name of “Money Rocks.” Today, visitors to Money Rocks can enjoy heading out on the trails to explore the foothills of Welsh Mountain and treat themselves to views of farmland, valleys, and even other sections of the expansive Welsh Mountain forest. If you’re lucky, you might get to see some mountain laurel, the state flower, and even a ruffed grouse, the state bird.Those looking for a true sense of escapism and adventure can spend some time at French Creek State Park in Elverson, Pennsylvania. The largest contiguous forest in between Washington, D.C., and New York City, French Creek spans almost 8,000 acres of land. Nestled among the Schuylkill Highlands, you can head out on the network of trails to explore this expansive landscape. With 35 miles of trails, hiking in the Highlands is not for the faint of heart. You will want to have some hiking experience to brave the summits, handle the valleys, and scramble over rocks and boulders. With so much waiting in the Highlands, there’s plenty to enjoy at French Creek.On the banks of the Susquehanna River is the Tucquan Glen Nature Preserve. This somewhat secluded oasis welcomes visitors to explore the stunning landscape. While the park only spans 400 acres, the hiking within the park is strenuous, so be sure to come prepared with appropriate attire, water, and snacks. If you don’t want to challenge yourself with these trails (maybe you just finished a hike at French Creek), then you can enjoy the scenic ravines and valleys of the Susquehanna. You can take a short stroll to the overlook and soak in the view.
