Craving a little alone time? Peace and quiet to just clear your head, to think, or to just be? Nature certainly provides everything we need to relax and to recharge. Even a stroll through a small, local park can do wonders for releasing stress. But, sometimes we need more than that. Sometimes we want to go beyond our neighborhood. Next time you’ve got a free day, journey to this enchanting park in Pennsylvania perfect for a day trip or an overnight getaway.
Escape to Lyman Run State Park, nestled on a cozy 595-acres in Potter County, under endless skies that are perfect for watching the sunset and stargazing.
In fact, Lyman Run State Park sits only 18 miles from Cherry Springs State Park, known as one of the clearest spots for stargazing on the Eastern Seaboard. (Stargazing at Lyman Run is pretty spectacular, too.)
But, before nightfall, explore Lyman Run Lake by kayak, canoe, or motorboat. Or, sink your feet into the soft sand of the 300-foot beach before cooling off in the lake.
Unfortunately, the rest of the trails in the park are rated difficult.
And, on your hike, keep an eye out for local wildlife. Bobcats, coyotes, white-tailed deer, and wild turkey all call the park home, depending on the time of the year you visit.
