Life can get pretty hectic with time for relaxation at a premium. Carve some time out to relax and rejuvenate when you visit the one spot in Pennsylvania that’s like heaven on earth, complete with rushing waterfalls, a walking bridge, and area wildlife.
Stretched across more than 3,400 acres in the Lehigh River Watershed, Bear Creek Preserve currently boasts 31 miles of unpaved trails through unspoiled forests and valleys.
Trails are categorized by easy, moderate, and difficult. (Additional unpaved trails are planned for the future.) Hikers are advised to always walk with a partner.
Only foot traffic is permitted on the preserve and visitors are advised to pay careful attention to their surroundings as rattlesnakes and black bears live on the sprawling land.
Discover numerous activities at the preserve, such as the upcoming Natural Art Workshop, slated for November 6 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Participants will find natural art supplies in the forest and make holiday decorations during the two hour workshop.

While this may arguably be one spot in Pennsylvania that’s basically heaven on earth, you’ll also find pure tranquility at the most remote place in our beautiful state.
