Finding green space in Pennsylvania is easy. Deciding which park to explore, however, can certainly pose a challenge. With 121 state parks and countless local parks, Pennsylvania is brimming with places to explore, including some hidden gems of which we may never have heard. Kalmbach Memorial Park in Pennsylvania, for example, might be one of the state’s best kept secrets. You’ll see why pretty quickly, too.
Nestled in Macungie in the Lehigh Valley, Kalmbach Memorial Park offers a tranquil setting for reflection and quiet strolls among nature.
Once the home and property of Frederick Kalmbach Sr., the park was specifically created, upon his death and at his instruction, for the community of Macungie.
However, the park itself is open for all to explore, and it's well worth a visit if you're in the area. Bring your camera, too, because the grounds are absolutely breathtaking.
Stroll along the winding trails, where you'll pass by a waterfall, a flowing stream, and colorful flowers. You might even sneak a peek of a napping fawn or other wildlife.
If you're feeling inspired, grab a seat on one of the benches or at a table, where you can snap photos, draw a picture, or write a poem. Or you can just relax and enjoy your surroundings.
