A leisurely drive in Pennsylvania often means traveling on the backroads and passing farmland, rolling hills, and small towns. But we don’t always have time to take the scenic route, and that’s when we turn to the turnpike. Chances are pretty good that we’ve all driven it at least once, which means we probably have a favorite travel plaza at which to stop for a quick bite, to stretch our legs, and to fill up our tanks. If you’re driving along the turnpike and see the signs for South Midway, a popular rest stop in Bedford, Pennsylvania, pull over.
Have you been to South Midway, a rest stop in Bedford, Pennsylvania? What did you think? What is your favorite Pennsylvania rest stop? South Midway? Sideling Hil? Or another? Let us know in the comments! If you’ve got a bit of time, why not pull over and explore Bedford a bit? Did you know that Bedford is home to the Jean Bonnet Tavern, one of the most haunted restaurants in Pennsylvania?
